[INTRO]
A E B B [x2]
[VERSE 1]
A E B B
Four walls and a door
A E B B
We used to call home
A E B B A E B B
The rest of our lives but not enough time till we're both alone
A E B B
I try to steady my hands
A E B B
You hurt to know why
A E B
I open my mouth
B A E B B
and just trip over sounds, but my eyes speak goodbye
C#m7 A B E
The silence tells us all we need to know
[PRE-CHORUS]
A E B B
I breathe nervous and slow (Well you're desperate for air)
A E B B
My eyes sink to the floor (Yours compelled still to stare)
A E B B
In my tears you know I meant all I said
A E B B
As every elegant word I said turned to regret
[CHORUS]
C#m A B B
The silence tells us all we need to know (need to know)
C#m7 A B B
Pretending's so comfortable, but I have to go for the last time
A E B B [x4]
[PRE-CHORUS]
A E B B
You challenge all that I speak (So this won't mean the end)
A E B B
I rephrase and repeat (Leaving nothing unsaid)
A E B B
Your hysterics aren't the last words you'd hear
A E B B
As I stand to abandon your lonely four walls full of fear
[CHORUS]
C#m A B B
The silence tells us all we need to know (need to know)
C#m7 A B B
Pretending's so comfortable, but I have to go for the last time
C#m A B B [x2]
[BRIDGE]
E A
We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder
C#m A
We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder
E A
We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder
C#m A
We won't talk at all, we won't talk at all
E A
We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder would
C#m A
we still swallow glass for each other?
E A
We won't talk at all, we'll just wonder would
C#m A
we still swallow glass for each other?
[CHORUS]
E A C#m7 A
The silence tells us all we need to know (need to know)
E A C#m7 A
Pretending's so comfortable, but I have to go for the last time
E A C#m7 A
The silence tells us all we need to know (need to know)
E A B
Pretending's so comfortable, but I had to go
