Dream Theater – Beneath The Surface (Guitar)

E                      E/G#
Is there ever really a right time?

        C#m                       A
You had led me to believe someday you'd be there for me

E                      E/G#
When the stars above aligned

         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

      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

E                               E/G#
A shell of what things could've been

      C#m                             A
Tired bones beneath a veil of guarded secrets all too frail

E                    E/G#
Sad to think 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

      E                   A
Until one day you stopped caring

      E                     B
And began to forget why you 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                E/G#
Until all that remained was buried deep beneath the surface

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

      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
