The Silence Cifras

[Intro]
C  G  Em  G  C  Em  G    x2
 
[Verse 1]
C
Tell me a piece of your history
            G                  C
that you're proud to call your own
C
Speak in words you picked up
       G                    C
as you walked through life alone.
C
We used to swim in your stories
       G                    C
and be pulled down by their tide,
C
choking on the words
                     G      C
and drowning with no air inside.
 
[Pre-chorus]
           Em                  C
Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
   G                 D
my dear, my dear, my dear.
           Em                    C
Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard,
   G                 D
my dear, my dear, oh dear.
 
[Chorus]
C           G          D
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
C                 G             Em        B
You must have the words in that head of yours.
    C               G
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
Em              D
I can't take it anymore,
       C           G          D
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)
 
C  G  Em  G  C  Em  G
 
[Verse 2]
C
Tell me a piece of your history
            G              C
that you've never said out loud.
C
Pull the rug beneath my feet
    G               C
and shake me to the ground.
C
Wrap me around your fingers,
          G            C
break the silence open wide,
C
and before it seeps into my ears,
   G                    C
it fills me up from the inside.
 
[Pre-chorus]
           Em                  C
Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
   G                 D
my dear, my dear, my dear.
           Em                    C
Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard,
   G                 D
my dear, my dear, oh dear.
 
[Chorus]
C           G          D
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
C                 G             Em        B
You must have the words in that head of yours.
    C               G
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
Em              D
I can't take it anymore,
       C           G          D
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)
 
[Bridge]
C    G  D
 
       C
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
         G                  D
What you good for, what you good for?
       C
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
         G                  D
What you good for, what you good for?
       C                         G
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
         D
What you good for, what you good for?
       C                         G
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
         Em                 D
What you good for, what you good for?
 
[Chorus]
C           G          D
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
C                 G             Em        B
You must have the words in that head of yours.
    C               G
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
Em              D
I can't take it anymore,
       C           G          D
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck, oh
