Dm        Em           Dm    F
Quiet now don’t make a sound

Dm            Em     Dm    F
Sun will come up somehow

Dm     F     Dm    F
Always has, always been

Am         Em            Dm   Em
That’s the way life goes on

    Dm Em   Dm   Em   Dm
But I don’t want it

Em
What’s the point?

     C             F   Dm      Am F Dm Em
Keep pushing when it’s all the same?

Dm                           F          Dm
Twelve years of silence just holding my breath

    F        Dm        Em    Dm  Em
To keep up a courage I never had

      Dm   Em   Dm
Cause all I’ve known is

Am     Em     Dm     F
Silent halls, silent tears

Dm              Am  Em
Every hope must die

Am      Em     Dm      Am        Em
Silence saves, silence haunts me everyday

Dm   Em
I remember every one

Dm             Am    Em
Every name and every face

Dm          Em          Dm  F
Stood right there where you were

    C             Em  Dm  F
And pledged their fate

Em  Dm  Em
One last time

Em
Men say justice comes from gold

      Am                 Em
Like death, it’s lone and cold

        Dm          Am    F
And the debt’s never paid

          C              Em
Cause the shadows don’t care

Dm  Em                    Dm
Why would the strong play fair?

Dm                        Em
Still I believe there’s a light at the end of

Am     Em     Dm      Am
Silent halls, foolish dreams

Dm        Am         Dm  Em
There’s a truth here somehow

Em          Dm       F
Keep going, keep pushing

Dm               Am                  Dm       Am
Waiting for the sound that says it’s over one day

      Dm   Em  Dm    C     Em                Am
Cause it’s not worth it to watch history get made
