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

Tell me a piece of your history

G
Pull the rug beneath my feet
D G
and shake me to the ground.
G
Wrap me around your fingers,
D G
break the silence open wide,
G
and before it seeps into my ears,
D G
it fills me up from the inside.
