Verse:
 Am                  G              C           F
   When you wake up   on your face    on the   bedroom carpet
Am            G              C          F
   Count back   all the ways   that you  ended up there
Am                              G
   You can't remember someone   else's story
C                             F
  You can't remember that you  don't feel sorry
Am        G             C                                F
  Get up,    get out --   the lines are gone, with the   green you're leaving

Chorus:
               C                      F          
I don't mind   silence, I don't mind  sitting
           C                         F
I can be   quiet, I wish you could   hear me

Verse:
You go back, you repeat, trace the veins that you don't want to see
With your hands, in your hair -- don't leave your fingers buried
Do you think that we could try forgetting
The places we've gone with the ceiling spinning
Slow down until we stop
We have to steal this night back

Chorus:
I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting
I can be quiet, I wish you could hear me

Bridge verse with solo:
Am   G   C   F
Am   G   C   F

Am                              G
  I'm tired of going to these   basement parties
C                       F
   Everybody wants to    leave their body
Am                                G
    I'm hiding in the bathroom    with no witness
C                                F
    Speaking through the door   about some sickness

Chorus x2:
I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting
I can be quiet, I wish you could hear me
I don't mind silence, I don't mind sitting
I'm keeping the quiet, I wish you could hear me
