Dm There is darkness and death in your eyes What have you got buried inside? C Cm The shallow grave in your soul B The ghosts there have taken control Chorus: Am G F#m F You really should have dug a little deeper there Am G F#m F Body parts are starting to appear and scare Em Dm The child inside away Each tear that flows down your face Trickles then picks up the pace And turns to a river inside A river that will not subside Chorus: I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound And watching from afar I see a child is drowned The child inside your heart Am I can see you drifting away Heading for the light I can see you drifting away F Fm Every night Why were you always inside? On days when the weather was fine And while we were running around You were nowhere to be found Chorus: You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed Well you were made to play games with your soul instead The child inside you died You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  Cm  Dm  Em  F  Fm  F#m  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
