C               G                Am
Way way down a hole, there's no feeling,
                   F                 Am
Cause when you're so far below the floor,
                G
everything's a ceiling.

    C                         G
We dug it down as deep as we could
              Am
Just like we planned it
               Dm
But when you climbed out, you pulled the ladder
                  G
And it left me stranded

Chorus:
     F                   Am
So what am I supposed to do?
     F              Am G
I'm calling out to you
            F                 C G
But you're miles away, it's true
F             G       C
Digging with someone new

So far down in this hole
There's little daylight
I feel the shards of the midday sun
And then it's black as midnight

The only stars I see in the sky
They don't move me
'Cause they've all been dead for millions of years
They're just light diffusing

Chorus:
And a constellation is more
Than the brightest point of its form
But every telescope you assumed
Was pointed only at you

              Am
And I've got nowhere to go except further below,
           C
So I keep digging.
             Am
And it gets darker everyday,
                                     C
But I see no other way than just committing.

             F                        C
And if the earth is as round as they say
        E7                 Am
Then I won't find another place
       F                   C
From where I break back through
        E7                Am
That's farther away from you
        F        G        C
That's farther away from you

Chorus:
So what am I supposed to do?
I'm calling out to you
But you're miles away, it's true
Digging with someone new
So what am I supposed to do?
I'm calling out to you
But you're miles away, it's true
Digging with someone new
Digging with someone new
Digging with someone new
