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.


           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.


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
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.


           Em                  C
