The Universe Inside Chords & Lyrics - Ben Lee

[G] [C] [G] [C]
Have you ever[G] caught a glimpse of your reflection in the[C] mirror
[Em]And wondered if [C]the person that you [G]saw was even yo[D]u
[Em]Everyone appl[C]auding, it's the perfe[G]ct presentati[D]on
[C]Nobody would ever have a clue [Dsus] [D]

Have yo[G]u ever closed your eyes and tried to listen to your heartbe[C]at
It ta[Em]kes you to a pla[C]ce that seems so vast[G] you can't ignor[D]e
[Em]And all they ever see is[C] only part of th[G]e equation [D]
[C]Don't they realize you're so much more [Dsus] [D]

There's a universe [G]inside [C] [Dsus]
[D]Which no one else can see [Em]
A wo[C]rld insi[Dsus]de [D]
Where I'm alone with me [Em]
You can spend a lif[D]etime looking deep in[G] someone's eyes [C]
And never[D] see the universe inside [G]

[G] [C] [G] [C]
We live [G]our lives unscreened, we pass like strangers undetected [C]
Buying t[Em]hings we do not need to[C] cure a sickness we don't[G] have [D]
And under[Em]neath it all th[C]ere lies a beauty unsusp[G]ected [D]
Reveal[C]ed for just a moment when we laugh [Dsus] [D]

I'm scare[G]d to show what's underneath, I cover it with makeup [C]
B[Em]ravery, br[C]avado and the need to[G] be the best [D]
If I s[Em]howed them what I'm hiding would I[C] handle the reje[G]ction [D]
[C]Stepping to the light that I pos[Dsus]sess [D]

There's a universe [G]inside [C] [Dsus]
[D]Which no one else can see [Em]
A wo[C]rld insi[Dsus]de [D]
Where I'm alone with me [Em]
You can spend a lif[D]etime looking deep in[G] someone's eyes [C]
And never[D] see the universe inside [G]

[C]And as we walk each other home
The terr[G]or of the great unknown
Just wis[C]h that we could see each other shining[G]
That we wo[C]uld never have to be afraid of nightma[Em]res or our dreams
And if y[C]ou want me you know where to[D] find me

In the unive[G]rse inside[C] [Dsus] [D]
'Cause you must have one too [Em]
A worl[C]d insi[Dsus]de [D]
That no one ever knew [Em]
I wish I'd n[D]oticed but I ne[G]ver took the time[C]

To look[D] beyond the surface and finally see the universe inside [G] [C] [G]
[G]Yo[C]u [G]In[C]side You

Have you ever caugh[G]t a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror [C]
[Em]And wondered if [C]the person that you [G]saw was even yo[D]u
[Em]Everyone appl[C]auding, it's the perfe[G]ct presentati[D]on
[C]Nobody would ever have a clue [Dsus] [D]

There's a universe [G]inside [C] [Dsus]
[D]Which no one else can see [Em]
A wo[C]rld insi[Dsus]de [D]
Where I'm alone with me [Em]
I hope that someone[D] looks into my eyes [G] [C]
And final[D]ly sees the universe inside [G]
