Note: These are Sawyer's chords while his guitar is tuned to an open D
to play in his key without tuning see comment section below
[intro]
(This is pretty much all you have to do throughout the whole song, the exact pattern
except Sawyer usually starts punching his board violently beginning the 3rd line or so)

[verse 1]
Em Em/G Em
It's a silent world without all the screaming
Em/G Em Em/G Em
Yes it's a silent world if you choose not to listen
Em/G Em Em/G Em
You don't even have to breathe the smoke if you just stop breathing
Em/G Em Em/G Em
There would be no wars to be fought if we kept on killing
[verse 2]
Em/G Em Em/G Em
Yes it's a silent world for those who don't listen
Em/G Em Em/G Em
They don't even hear the commands that we are obeying
Em/G Em Em/G Em
Oh no they don't shed a tear if their eyes never open
Em/G Em Em/G Em
They don't have to go to war if they make use of one bullet
Em/G Em Em/G Em
All of them boys and girls how they want to be loved
Em/G Em Em/G Em
They don't want to be alone don't want to face the cold
Em/G Em Em/G Em
But you don't have to die alone if you were never born
Em/G Em Em/G Em
You don't have to face the cold if you die in the womb
[chorus]
Em/G Em Em/G Em
Cause it's a silent world for those who don't listen
Em/G Em Em/G Em
Yes it's a silent world if we'd only stop screaming
Em/G Em
You don't even have to hear the cries for mercy
Em/G Em
Oh no if we sent you right home
Em/G Em Em/G Em
Just as soon as you stop breathing
Em/G Em Em/G Em
Cause it's a silent world for those who don't listen
Em/G Em Em/G Em
They don't even shed a tear if their eyes never open
