[Opening]
I woke up under[E7]ground, not a light, not a [A]sound
I threw my voice into the [F#m]dark,
But the dark had no [B]remark, just repeated what I [E7]said.
[section 2]
Claustrophobic at [E7]first, struck by hunger and [A]thirst.
I stood up and looked [F#m]around, there was nothing to be [B]found.
Just a world I couldn’t [E7]see.
[section 3]
And I heard [A]whoo [F#m] [E7]I can’t see you [A]now.
I’ll [F#m]find my [B]way underground. [E7]
[section 4]
Then my fear began to [E7]ease, from far away whispered a [A]breeze.
Telling me to move [F#m]along, move along there’s nothing [B]wrong.
So I cornered my [E7]resolve.
[section 5]
Took a breath and took a [E7]step, encountered metal on my [A]left.
What a strange thing to [F#m]find, metal in this place of [B]mine.
Running lengthwise down the [E7]hall.
[section 6]
And I heard [A]whoo [F#m]
Then a light shown through the [E7]black, I was standing on a [Am]track.
That little light began to [C#m]grow, there was no where I could [Am]go.
[section 7]
Oh oh and the ground began to [E7]shake, no time left to hit the [Am]brake
That little light was closing [C#m]in, and suddenly I’m [E7]falling [A]
[Closing]
[E7]Oh I see you [A]now, oh
You [F#m]found me here [B]underground. [E7]
