A#
Tell me a piece of your history
F A#
that you're proud to call your own
A#
Speak in words you picked up
F A#
as you walked through life alone.
A#
We used to swim in your stories
F A#
and be pulled down by their tide,
A#
choking on the words
F A#
and drowning with no air inside.
Dm A#
Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
F C
my dear, my dear, my dear.
Dm A#
Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard,
F C
my dear, my dear, oh dear.
A# F C
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
A# F Dm A
you must have the words in that head of yours.
A# F
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
Dm C
I can't take it anymore,
A# F C
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)

Tell me a piece of your history
F A#
that you've never said out loud.
A#
Pull the rug beneath my feet
F A#
and shake me to the ground.
A#
Wrap me around your fingers,
F A#
break the silence open wide,
A#
and before it seeps into my ears,
F A#
it fills me up from the inside.

Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
