Bastille – The Silence (Ukulele)

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

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

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
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

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

       C
If you give it a name then it's already won

         G                  D
What you good for what you good for

       C
If you give it a name then it's already won

         G                  D
What you good for what you good for

       C                         G
If you give it a name then it's already won

         D
What you good for what you good for

       C                         G
If you give it a name then it's already won

         Em                 D
What you good for what you good for

C           G          D
It is not enough to be dumbstruck

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 oh
