Intro:
C C, G G, Em Em, G G, C C, Em Em, G G x2

C C
Tell me a piece of your history
G G C C
that you're proud to call your own
C C
Speak in words you picked up
G G C C
as you walked through life alone.
C C
We used to swim in your stories
G G C C
and be pulled down by their tide,
C C
choking on the words
G G C C
and drowning with no air inside.

Em Em C C
Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
G G D D
my dear, my dear, my dear.
Em Em C C
Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard,
G G D D
my dear, my dear, oh dear.

C C G G D D
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
C C G G Em Em B B
you must have the words in that head of yours.
C C G G
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
Em Em D D
I can't take it anymore,
C C G G D D
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)

C C, G G, Em Em, G G, C C, Em Em, G G

C C
Tell me a piece of your history
G G C C
that you've never said out loud.
C C
Pull the rug beneath my feet
G G C C
and shake me to the ground.
C C
Wrap me around your fingers,
G G C C
break the silence open wide,
C C
and before it seeps into my ears,
G G C C
it fills me up from the inside.

Em Em C C
Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
G G D D
my dear, my dear, my dear.
Em Em C C
Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard,
G G D D
my dear, my dear, oh dear.

C C G G D D
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
C C G G Em Em B B
you must have the words in that head of yours.
C C G G
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
Em Em D D
I can't take it anymore,
C C G G D D
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)


C C, G G, D D

C C
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
G G D D
What you good for, what you good for?
C C
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
G G D D
What you good for, what you good for?
C C G G
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
D D
What you good for, what you good for?
C C G G
If you give it a name, then it's already won.
Em Em D D
What you good for, what you good for?

C C G G D D
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
C C G G Em Em B B
you must have the words in that head of yours.
C C G G
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
Em Em D D
I can't take it anymore,
C C G G D D
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck, oh


C C, G G, Em Em, G G, C C, Em Em, G G x2
