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                                                                 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                                                                                       D 
Don't they realize you're so much more
                                       G           C 
There's a universe inside
 D                                                 Em 
Which no one else can see
         C                 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 
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                                                                           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                                                                 D 
Stepping to the light that I possess
                                       G           C 
There's a universe inside
 D                                                 Em 
Which no one else can see
         C                 D 
A world inside

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             D 
In the universe inside
                                                                 Em 
'Cause you must have one too
             C             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
