Intro:  C D G C D G D 
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
    G     C     G 
The rumor going'round 
 
G                        D 
Is that I haven't shed a tear 
 
D 
But don't they know you can't believe 
 
C    D         G 
Everything you hear 
 
G           C         G 
'Cause ever since you left 
 
G                     C 
I've been a master of disguise 
 
         C       D      G        C 
I may be smiling on the outside 
 
          D            G 
But don't look into my eyes, 'cause... 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
           D 
The inside story 
 
      C        D         G 
Is as clear as black and white 
 
A 
I still dream about you 
 
             C       D 
When I turn out the lights 
 
    C               F       C 
The news out on the street 
       
         G                Em  
Says you didn't break my heart 
 
C       D      G         
But the inside story 
 
D             G       C D G C D G  
Is tearing me apart 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
          G     C         G 
I thought maybe there was something wrong 
 
G                     D 
That we'd work out in time 
 
D 
And looking back I can see 
 
         C      D         G 
I didn't read between the lines 
 
G                C        G 
And now my pride helps me hide the pain 
 
G                         C 
So it's not written on my face 
 
        C            D         G   C 
When we pass I'll pretend your memory 
 
    D       G  
Was easy to erase, but... 
 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
 
Outro: 
 
C       D      G    C 
Oh, the inside story 
 
   D           C      D  G 
Is tearing me apart
