N.C.                                    D   G C G  D5
I've been caught in a trap I set for myself,
N.C.                                                  D G C G
I don't want to be here when you could be somewhere else.
    D       G         C            G          D
So why'd I sit on my hands like a book on a shelf,
       G           C       G
Where nothing but dust is falling?
 A                             G D
Everyone 'round here lives in silence.

If I had something to say I'd say what I mean.
 D5                                                     D   G C G
How'd you lose all your words? I swear it's obscene, I curse!
 D         G           C            G            D
How'd you look at yourself as the mirror turns green?
       G         C      G
Yeah, only the fools ignore us,
A                              G D
Everyone 'round here lives in silence.

I could wait all my life for someone to think.
D5                                          D      G C G
I can't open your eyes but I can make you blink at me.
      D          G         C            G          D
So please don't try to be nice, don't need your advice,
        G           C      G
Please leave me to die of boredom,
A                              G D
Everyone 'round here lives in silence,

 G D
Silence
      G           D
They wait for the end
 G D
Silence,
      G            D
They bow and they bend
 G D
Silence,
       G            D
Their homes they defend,
 G  D
Silence.
