Key: F# Intro: Am E Am E E7 Verse 1: Am E All these years I've sat and obeyed Am E As I hear every word you say E ("Did you hear Dolores has a crush on Mariano ") Am E Get used to the noise, it'll soon go away Am E7 But it's louder every day E7 ("I thought he was engaged to Isabela.") Am E A problem shared is a problem halved F E7 As you sit there unaware E7 ("Oh my God, you're right! How embarrassing.") Am E That your little sin has crept through the wall E ("Do you think she can hear us now " "God, I hope not!") F E7 And sunk under my skin
Pre-Chorus: Am You say, "Just ignore," "Close the door," as if I don't hear E Mind echoes with your noise, as your voice tells me all your fears F So full up with you that I'm too afraid to E Make my own sound Am No one seems to care what I want and what I need E A second to be silent, have some quiet, feel the noise recede F E And finally take a breath as I'm only hearing me F E The only noise is me! Chorus: Am C F Give me silence, I'll make them quiet E Can't think before you speak E Then you'll learn quiet Am C F Muzzle the violent, force them to quiet E I'll finally be free Am I'll rule the quiet Verse 2: E Time you learn to be seen and not heard Am E Let's not hear another word Am E Don't wanna know what you do, where you go Am E So give me a silent show Am E If a tree were to fall and no one was there F E Would it make a sound at all? Am E The answer's "Yes," worry less bout the tree F E And more about those in your halls Pre-Chorus: Am Grew up in this house, as the walls whispered desperately E For family I obeyed, masquerade, it took all of me F E To know what I knew and to never ever say a word Am Heard every crack that appeared over all these years E The ones brought by plaster and ones brought through pain and tears F I left them to break, if the magic's gone E Then it can't hurt me Chorus: Am C F Give me silence, I'll make them quiet E Can't think before you speak E Then you'll learn quiet Am C F Muzzle the violent, force them to quiet E I'll finally be free Am I'll rule the quiet Bridge: E And when I'm through F E Silence falls and I'm made anew Am E Use your words, dear F E Oh, wait, you can't! Am E F E I can finally hear now that you've stopped talking F E Am At last, I hear me! Out-Chorus: Am C F Give me silence, I'll make them quiet E Can't think before you speak E Then you'll learn quiet Am C F Muzzle the violent, force them to quiet E I'll finally be free E I'll rule the quiet C F Give me silence! I'll make them quiet! E Can't think before you speak E Then you'll learn quiet Am C F Muzzle the violent, force them to quiet E I'll finally be free Am I'll rule the quiet
