F#
Tell me a piece of your history
C# F#
that you're proud to call your own
F#
Speak in words you picked up
C# F#
as you walked through life alone.
F#
We used to swim in your stories
C# F#
and be pulled down by their tide,
F#
choking on the words
C# F#
and drowning with no air inside.

Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault
C# G#
my dear, my dear, my dear.
A#m F#
Now you've hit a wall and you've hit it hard,
C# G#
my dear, my dear, oh dear.
F# C# G#
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
F# C# A#m F
you must have the words in that head of yours.
F# C#
And oh, oh, can you feel the silence?
A#m G#
I can't take it anymore,
F# C# G#
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)

Tell me a piece of your history
C# F#
that you've never said out loud.
F#
Pull the rug beneath my feet
C# F#
and shake me to the ground.
F#
Wrap me around your fingers,
C# F#
break the silence open wide,
F#
and before it seeps into my ears,
C# F#
it fills me up from the inside.
A#m F#
Now you've hit a wall and it's not your fault

If you give it a name, then it's already won.

What you good for, what you good for?

If you give it a name, then it's already won.
