[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am][G][Am][C][Bb][F]
[Am][C][Am][G][Am][C][Bb]
[F][Am]

[Verse 1]
Every[C]body's got a [Cm]million questions
Every[G#]body wants to know the score
What [Bb]you went through
It's something you
Should be [Gm]over now

[Verse 2]
Every[C]body wants to [Cm]hear
the secrets
That you [G#]never told a soul before
And it's [Bb]not that strange
Because it wouldn't change
What happened [Gm]anyhow[G]

[Verse 3]
But you [Cm]swore to yourself
a long time ago
There were [Ab]some things that people
never needed to know
Guess there's [Bb]one that you keep
That you bury so deep
No one can [F]tear it out

[Verse 4]
And you [G]can't talk [Am]about it
Because you're [F]following
a code of si[G]lence
You're never gonna to lose
the [Am]an ger
You just [F]deal with it a different [G]way

[Verse 5]
And you [G]can't talk [C]about it
And [F]isn't that a kind of mad[G]ness
To be living by a code
of si[C]lence
When you've [F]really got a lot to [Am]say[F]

[Verse 6]
You [C]don't want to [Cm]lose a friendship
There's [Ab]nothing that you have to hide
And a [Bb]little dirt
Couldn't hurt no one [Gm]anyway

[Verse 7]
And you [C]still have a [Cm]rage inside you
That you [G#]carry with a certain pride
In the [Bb]only part of the broken heart
That you could [Gm]ever [G]save

[Verse 8]
But you've [Cm]been through it once
You know how it ends
You [Ab]don't see the point
Of going through it again
And [Bb]this ain't the place
And this ain't the time
And [F]neither's any other day

[Verse 9]
So you [G]can't talk [Am]about it
Because you're [F]following
a code of si[G]lence
You're never gonna to
lose the [Am]an ger
You just [F]deal with it a different [G]way

[Verse 10]
So you [G]can't talk [C]about it
[F]And isn't that a kind of madn[G]ess
To be living by a code
of si[C]lence
When you've [F]really got a lot to [Am]say[F][Am]
[F]I

[Verse 11]
[Eb]know you well enough [F]to tell
you've got your [Bb]reasons
[Eb]That's not the kind of code
you're in[F]clined [Bb]to break
Some [Eb]things unknown are best
left [F]alone [Gm]forever
And [Ab]if a vow is what it takes
Haven't [F]you paid for your mistakes

[Interlude 1]
[Cm][Ab][Csus4]
[Cm]

[Verse 12]
[Cm]After the moment passes
And the [G#]impulse disappears
You can [Bb]still hold back
Because you don't crack very [Gm]easily

[Verse 13]
It's a [C]time honored [Cm]resolution
Because the [G#]danger is always near
It's [Bb]with you now
But that ain't how it
was sup[Gm]posed [G]to be

[Verse 14]
And it's [Cm]hard to believe
after all these years
[Ab]That it still gives you pain and it still
brings tears
And you feel [Bb]like a fool
Because it's part of your rules
You've got a [F]memory

[Verse 15]
But you [G]can't talk [Am]about it
Because you're [F]following
a code of si[G]lence
You're never gonna to lose the [Am]anger
You just [F]deal with it a different [G]way

[Verse 16]
But you [G]can't talk [C]about it
And [F]isn't that a kind of mad[G]ness
To be living by a code
of si[C]lence
When you've [F]really got a lot to say
