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
