Listening For The Silence

          Cm
All these strangers
              Eb
Everywhere is danger, this anger
           Ab                     Fm
Has got me hating everyone that I see
              Cm
And all these faces
       Eb
I'm so afraid of the state of my mind
Ab                    Fm
Everyone's looking at me


[Pre-Chorus]
Cm
I can hear the chaos and the fear
 Bb
(I'm not alone, but no one's here)
Eb                               Fm
So I'm listening for the silence now
Cm
Na-na-na, na-na-ow
Bb
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-ow
D              Fm
Na-na-na-na-ow-ow


[Chorus]
  Cm                     B
I swear I can hear it so clear
                        Bb
Even though it's loud inside my head
       Eb
So I'm silent, silent
   Cm                            B
My fear is you don't hear what I hear
                        Bb
Can you make the voices disappear?
          Eb
So I keep listening for the silence
 N.C.
(Listening for the silence)


[Verse 2]
Cm                    Eb
Teasing, while you're degrading my patience
              Ab                          Fm
I'm breaking, scared of all the shadows I see
              Cm
And could you save me?
        Eb
Anybody know what they're saying?
                Ab                  Fm
Please tell me, I just want them to leave


[Pre-Chorus]

I can hear the chaos and the fear
 Bb
(I'm not alone, but no one's here)
Eb                               Fm
So I'm listening for the silence now

Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-ow
D              Fm
Na-na-na-na-ow-ow


[Chorus]
  Cm                     B
I swear I can hear it so clear
                        Bb
Even though it's loud inside my head
       Eb
So I'm silent, silent
   Cm                            B
My fear is you don't hear what I hear
                        Bb
Can you make the voices disappear?
          Eb
So I keep listening for the silence

[Interlude]
           Cm        D Bb
When these words fail
     G                  Fm         Eb
Then nothing just might make sense

Are you speaking to me?

Are you talking to me?
        Cm
Are you speaking to me?
                  Eb
'Cause when these words fail
     Ab
Then nothing just might make sense
Fm
And you can say anything
Cm
Then nothing just might make sense

I swear I can hear it so clear

Even though it's loud inside my head
       Eb
So I'm silent, silent
   Cm                            B
My fear is you don't hear what I hear

Can you make the voices disappear?
          Eb
So I keep listening for the silence

Can you make the voices disappear?
