[Intro] Em Bm D (Dsus4 D Dsus2 D) Am [Verse 1]
Em
Something is living here beside us

          Bm
hovering around this place

D
Something is breathing up the air

                            Am
Something is filling up the empty space

Em
Is the honesty hiding

Bm
In the words we never say

D
Standing in the dark crying

Am
Trying not to fade away
[Chorus]
  C
I know right now

                           Am
it's too hard to say these things out loud

                         Em
But if we don't break it down

                           D
It's the silence that will drown us out

Am
Through the noise

                          Am/B      C
It's been getting hard to hear your voice

                   Em
It's such a lonely sound

                    D
Gotta find a way to turn it down

                           Bm       C
It's the silence that will drown us out
Em Bm D (Dsus4 D Dsus2 D) Am [Verse 2]
Em
Every day is like a distant friend

                         Bm
but the night is like an enemy

   D
Am I the stranger in this bed

                         Am
or is the stranger lying next to me

Em
I've been giving just enough

Bm
Haven't promised you the best of me

D
Just a shadow of our love

Am
That is not what we need
[Chorus]
  C
I know right now

                           Am
it's too hard to say these things out loud

                         Em
But if we don't break it down

                           D
It's the silence that will drown us out

Am
Through the noise

                          Am/B      C
It's been getting hard to hear your voice

                   Em
It's such a lonely sound

                    D
Gotta find a way to turn it down

                           Bm       C
It's the silence that will drown us out
[Bridge]
C                    D*
I can feel the water rising now

Bm                         C
What you're holding on to, let it out

C                     D*
Even if the sky comes falling down

Bm                    C
Falling down, falling down

C                    D*
I can feel the water rising now

Bm                             C
What you're holding back, just let it out

C                     D*
Even if the sky comes falling down

Bm                    C
Falling down, falling down
[Chorus]
  C
I know right now

                           Am
it's too hard to say these things out loud

                         Em
But if we don't break it down

                           D
It's the silence that will drown us out
