Verse 1 chords:
Am          F          Am                     G
   When you   wake up     on your face on the bedroom carpet
Am           F              Am          G
  Count back   all the ways    that you ended up there
Am                           F
  You can't remember someone else's story
Am                            G
  You can't remember that you dont feel sorry
Am        F         Am                              G
  Get up,   get out -- the lines are gone, with the green you're leaving


Chorus 1 chords:
Am  F              Am                    G
      I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting
Am  F          Am                      G
      I can be quiet, I wish you could hear me

Verse 2: use verse 1 chords
You go back, you repeat, trace the veins that you don't want to see
With your hands, in your hair -- don't leave your fingers buried
Do you think that we could try forgetting
The places we've gone with the ceiling spinning
Slow down until we stop
We have to steal this night back


Chorus 2: use chorus 1 chords
I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting
I can be quiet, I wish you could hear me

Verse 3: use verse 1 chords
I'm tired of going to these basement parties
Everybody wants to leave their body
I'm hiding in the bathroom with no witness
Speaking through the door about some sickness


Chorus 2: use chorus 1 chords
I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting
I can be quiet, I wish you could hear me
I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting
I'm keeping the quiet, I wish you could hear me
