A5                                                 
The silence is deafening, it's drowning out the truth 
    G5             D5                  A5 
And killing every good thing that we try to do 
A5 
It's so polite 'round here, it's hiding any fear 
     G5              D5              E5 
That we don't talk about, we gotta shake that demon out 

Refr?o -------------
G5           A5     
Tired of pretending 
     G5             D5                   A5 
That everything is gonna work out just fine 
G5           A5 
Tired of pretending 
     G5                  D5                     A5 
That no one's gonna get hurt if we just stand by 
               G5       G5 
While we're descending 
            G5        G5 
Tired of pretending
--------------------
It's an amazing thing, all the lies you tell 

They don't do anything but help you fool yourself 

Starting today I'm done, I'm through holding onto some  

Dark secret that we keep, I've bitten my tongue until it bleeds 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
(Bridge) 
  G5                  G5 
A house of cards is just like this home 
         G5                                      E5 A5 
With the flick of a finger the whole damn thing's gone 
 
Chorus
