Rosanne Cash - On The Inside

on the inside

intro : E B A E B A E A E A

E G#m
we crawled night and day through the tears and debris
F#m B
now i’m reaching out to you but i’m keeping my hands clean
E G#m
the tables are turning the tempo slows down
F#m B
and we’re gettin’ off this misery – go – round
E G#m
it’s a brand new world baby now things have changed
F#m B
a brand new picture in a brand new frame
E G#m
a turn of the page with a blink of your eye
F#m B
our two steps in rhythm our hearts beatin’ time

C#m B C#m
on the inside , it all happened on the inside
A E
it all went down on the inside

a critical moment i know you’d agree
both of us separate but neither one free
we traded our papers for new walking shoes
but i had no idea how i’d feel without you
we watched it unravel we heard it unwind
imprisoned by anger embittered by time
no one could tell me we’d be standing here today
steeled by the fire and sealed by the pain

on the inside it all happened on the inside
it all went down on the inside

A B G#m A
i’m holding on to you and i know you’re holding on to me too
B G#m A
we gave it one more chance and found the key to romance

now none of it happens like we think it should be
hey it’d all be disaster if left up to me
by the power of love and protection divine
we found we hold hands through the darkness and then there was light

on the inside it all happened on the inside
it all went down on the inside
