             G                                          C 
Have you ever caught a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror 
Em              C                   G              D     
And wondered if the person that you saw was even you 
Em           C                     G            D 
Everyone applauding, it's the perfect presentation 
C                               Dsus D 
Nobody would ever have a clue 

       G                                                          C  
Have you ever closed your eyes and tried to listen to your heartbeat 
     Em              C                    G               D 
It takes you to a place that seems so vast you can't ignore 
Em                      C               G               D        
And all they ever see is only part of the equation 
C                                         Dsus  D 
Don't they realize you're so much more 

                   G      C      Dsus 
There's a universe inside 
D                         Em     
Which no one else can see 
    C       Dsus D 
A world inside 
                         Em 
Where I'm alone with me 
                   D                    G                 C      
You can spend a lifetime looking deep in someone's eyes 
         D                              G                 
And never see the universe inside 

G C G C 
        G                                                             C  
We live our lives unscreened, we pass like strangers undetected 
        Em                     C                        G                        D               
Buying things we do not need to cure a sickness we don't have 
         Em             C                       G       D        
And underneath it all there lies a beauty unsuspected 
      C                                    Dsus D 
Revealed for just a moment when we laugh 

         G                                                              C        
I'm scared to show what's underneath, I cover it with makeup 
 Em        C                    G               D 
Bravery, bravado and the need to be the best 
      Em                                C               G             D          
If I showed them what I'm hiding would I handle the rejection 
C                               Dsus D 
Stepping to the light that I possess 


                   G      C      Dsus 
There's a universe inside 
D                         Em     
Which no one else can see 
    C       Dsus D 
A world inside 
                         Em 
Where I'm alone with me 
                   D                    G                 C      
You can spend a lifetime looking deep in someone's eyes 
         D                              G                 
And never see the universe inside 

C 
And as we walk each other home 
        G 
The terror of the great unknown 
        C                                     G  
Just wish that we could see each other shining 
          C                                     Em 
That we would never have to be afraid of nightmares or our dreams 
        C                           D 
And if you want me you know where to find me 

            G         C     Dsus D 
In the universe inside 
                                Em 
'Cause you must have one too 
      C     Dsus D       
A world inside 
                        Em 
That no one ever knew 
            D              G                C            
I wish I'd noticed but I never took the time 


       D                                                        G C G 
To look beyond the surface and finally see the universe inside 
G C G C 
You Inside You 

                   G                                                    C 
Have you ever caught a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror 
Em              C                   G              D     
And wondered if the person that you saw was even you 
Em           C                     G            D 
Everyone applauding, it's the perfect presentation

Nobody would ever have a clue 

       G                                                          C  
Have you ever closed your eyes and tried to listen to your heartbeat 
     Em              C                    G               D 
It takes you to a place that seems so vast you can't ignore 
Em                      C               G               D        
And all they ever see is only part of the equation 
C                                         Dsus  D 
Don't they realize you're so much more 

                   G      C      Dsus 
There's a universe inside 
D                         Em     
Which no one else can see 
    C       Dsus D 
A world inside 
                         Em 
Where I'm alone with me 
                   D                    G                 C      
You can spend a lifetime looking deep in someone's eyes 
         D                              G                 
And never see the universe inside
