Intro
A D E
We're dyin' on the inside
A D E
Dyin' on the inside
A D E
Dyin' on the inside
A D E
Dyin' on the inside
[Verse 1]
A D E
Right on time here's the other shoe
A D E
Clouds overhead start to loom
A D E
Some born to win others fate to lose
A D E
From the options we must choose
A D E
My friend dread is right on time
A D E
Can't start to think that it is fine
A D E
Watch the tower as it starts to teeter
A D E
New lyrics follow the same old meter
[Pre-Chorus]
D C# E D F# E G
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
A D E
Butterflies, my stomach starts to heave
A D E
What joyous blunder waits for me
A D E
Finished first but I missed the start
A D E
Hitched the mule behind the cart
A D E
Take the rose by the thorns
A D E
Hope for sun, but here's the storm
A D E
So head outside and wait for rain
A D E
Watch it all go down the drain
[Pre-Chorus]
D C# E D F# E G
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
A D E
We settle in but it's time to go
A D E
Taken to sea by the undertow
A D E
Love the smell but I hate the taste
A D E
Feeling good is such a waste
A D E
Loved the book but I hate the end
A D E
Gained a lover but I lost a friend
A D E
Straight to worst, from the best
A D E
Nothin' fills that hole in my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
D C# E D F# E G
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Verse 4]
A B F# E
To make things worse, it all goes so fast
A B F# E
And we try to hold on as they go past
A B F# E
We need a Peter, we get a Paul
A B F# E
At least Judas had the balls
A B F# E
To make a move on these building doubts
A B F# E
About how this messiah would shake out
A B F# E
I feel the nail against my skin
A B F# E
Wait for the hammer to drive it in
[Pre-Chorus]
D C# E D F# E G
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
[Chorus]

Dyin' on the inside
A D E
Dyin' on the insidee

It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...
D C# E D F# E G
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to...
D C# E D F# E G
It can't be comfortable when the whole thing's about to fall
Sh'mon
