verse 1 4/4
Bm Bb Bm Bb G F#
All that I know's within the walls of this room where there's a window
G F#
Roughly boarded up
Bm Bb Bm Bb G F#
It's true the gaps are patched but even through the tiny cracks, I feel the wind blow
G F# Bm
I see a light it's strange as you
Bb Bm
And there's nothing I can say
Bb G
There's no way I can prove
F# G
That there's a place
F#
Beyond this room
Bm Bb Bm
But still, there's something in the way
Bb G
The light comes shining through
F# G
And in the way
F#
The curtains move

My eyes fixed on the window

Somehow hiding in the soft glow

All this time, and never knew

I found a note scratched in the wall

In a pained and earnest scrawl

There's no song in here at night
There's nowhere to hide, we're terrified

It's all inside your head
