The Silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][C][G][Dm]
[Dm][C][G][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Why do I deserve the scien[C]ce
To feel [G]better about [Dm]you?
At a loss I lost my [C]cool
I de[G]nied that I found [Dm]you
I tried to be a basket [C]ca se
I did [G]not surprise [Dm]you
I'm trying to find a signal [C]fire
Let me [G]know when I should [Dm]move

[Chorus 1]
(But) [F]you, amplified in the [C]silence
Justified in the [G]way you make me [Dm]bruise
Magnified in the [C]science
Ana[G]to mically [Dm]proved
That [F]you don't [G]need me

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][C][G][Dm]
[Dm][C][G][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Why do I desire the spac[C]e?
I was [G]mourning after [Dm]you
I was lost and lost my [C]shape
There was [G]no thing I could [Dm]do
I don't want to waste a[C]way
It was [G]all I gave to [Dm]you
Take me back and take my [C]place
I will [G]rise right up for [Dm]you

[Chorus 2]
But [F]you, amplified in the [C]silence
Justified in the [G]way you make me [Dm]bruise
Magnified in the [C]science
Ana[G]to mically [Dm]proved
That [F]you don't [G]need me

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]All the while you waste away[G], you're asking
[C]"Did I really need another one
to take me [F]down?"
[Dm]Everybody knows it's something
That you had to [G]live with darling
[C]Nobody's gonna tear you down now[F]
There is [Dm]nothing you keep,
there is [G]only your reflection

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][C][G][Dm]
[Dm][C][G][Dm]

[Bridge 2]
[Dm]There was nothing but quiet retractions
[C]And families pleading,
"Don't look in that cabinet,
[G]There's far more bad than there's good,
I don't know how it [Dm]got there"
[Dm]That was something
your father had burned in [C]me
Twenty hours out of Homestake eterni[G]ty
"You can go anywhere
but you are where you [Dm]came from"
Little girl you are cursed by my ances[C]try
There is nothing but darkness and ago[G]ny
I can not only see,
but you stopped me from [Dm]blinking
Let me watch you as close as a memo[C]ry
Let me hold you above all the mise[G]ry
Let me open my eyes
and be glad that I [Dm]got here

[Outro 1]
[Dm][C][G][Dm]
[Dm][C][G][Dm]
[Repeat and fade]
