Chords

A new song Ilse perfomed live in her theater tour of 2022 I made a mistake with the title but cannot change it, the real title is 'Drown us out' D* is played as (x54030) [Intro] Em Bm D (Dsus4 D Dsus2 D) Am (2x) [Verse 1]
Em                                           Bm
Something's livin' here beside us, hovering around this place

D                                                            Am
Something's breathing up the air, something's filling up the empty space

Em                       Bm
  It's the honesty hiding, in the words we never say

D                            Am
  Standing in the dark crying, trying not to fade away
[Chorus]
  C                                         Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud

                         Em
But if we don't break it down

                    D           (Dsus4 D)
Gotta find a way to turn it down

Am                                 (C/B)    C
Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice

                   Em
It's such a lonely sound

                    D           (Dsus4)
Gotta find a way to turn it down

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

   D                                                 Am
Am I a stranger in this bed or is the stranger lying next to me

Em                            Bm
  I've been giving just enough, having promised you the best of me

D                          Am
  Just a shadow of our love, no that's not what we need
[Chorus]
  C                                         Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud

                         Em
But if we don't break it down

                    D           (Dsus4 D)
Gotta find a way to turn it down

Am                                 (C/B)    C
Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice

                   Em
It's such a lonely sound

                    D           (Dsus4)
Gotta find a way to turn it down

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

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

C                      D*            Bm                    C
Even if the star comes falling down, 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*            Bm                    C
Even if the star comes falling down, falling down, falling down
[Chorus]
  C                                         Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud

                         Em
But if we don't break it down

                    D           (Dsus4 D)
Gotta find a way to turn it down

Am                                 (C/B)    C
Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice

                   Em
It's such a lonely sound

                    D           (Dsus4)
Gotta find a way to turn it down

         D                 Bm       C       D       C
It's the silence that will drown us out

         D                 Bm       C      
It's the silence that will drown us out
