beneath the surface – dream theater

intro – theme :
| E | G#m A | E | F#m A |
| E | G#m A | E | C#m A |

verse 1 :
E G#m
is there ever really a right time?
C#m A
you had led me to believe someday you’ll be there for me
E G#m
when the stars above the light
C#m A
when you weren’t so consumed i kept looking for the clues
F#m B
so i waited in the shadows of my heart
F#m B
and still the time was never right

chorus 1 :
E A
until one day i stopped caring
E B
and began to forget why i longed to be so close
E C#m
and i disappeared into the darkness
F#m C#m
and the darkness turned to pain and never went away
F#m A B E
until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

interlude 1 – theme :
| E | G#m A | E | F#m A |
| E | G#m A | E | C#m A |

verse 2 :
E G#m
a shallow of what things could’ve been
C#m A
tired bones beneath of them i’ve guarded secrets out your frame
E G#m
sort of thing i never knew
C#m A
you were searching for the words , for the moment to emerge
F#m B
yet the moment never came
F#m B
you couldn’t risk my fragile frame

chorus 2 :
E A
until one day you stopped caring
E B
and began to forget why i tried to be so close
E C#m
and you disappeared into the darkness
F#m C#m
and the darkness turned to pain and never went away
F#m A B G#m
until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

interlude 2 :
| G#m | A | E | B |
| G#m | A | E | B |

mid – 8 :
G#m A
i would scream just to be heard
E B
as if yelling at the stars , i was bleeding just to feel
G#m A
you would never say a word
E B B ( let ring )
kept me reaching in the dark , always something to conceal

chorus 3 :
E Emaj7 E4 ( let ring )
until one day i stopped caring
E B
and began to forget why i longed to be so close
E C#m
and i disappeared into the darkness
F#m C#m
and the darkness turned to pain and never went away
F#m A B E
until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

outro – theme :
| E | G#m A | E | F#m A |
beneath the
| E | G#m A | E | C#m A |
surface
| E |
