[Intro]
Em D A Em [2x]
[Verse 1]
Em D A Em
Why do I deserve the silence to feel better about you?
Em D
At a loss I lost my cool
A Em
I denied that I found you
Em D
I tried to be a basket case
A Em
I did not surprise you
Em D
I'm trying to find a signal fire
A Em
Let me know when I should move
[Chorus]
G D
But you, amplified in the silence
A Em
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Em D
Magnified in the silence
A Em
Anatomically proved
G A Em
That you don't need me
Em D A Em [x2]
[Verse 2]
Em D
Why do I desire the space?
A Em
I was mourning after you
Em D
I was lost and lost my shape
A Em
There was nothing I could do
Em D
I don't want to waste away
A Em
It was all I gave to you
Em D
Take me back and take my place
A Em
I will rise right up for you
[Chorus]
G D
But you, amplified in the silence
A Em
Justified in the way you make me bruise
Em D
Magnified in the silence
A Em
Anatomically proved
G A Em
That you don't need me
[Bridge]
Em A
All the while you waste away, you're asking
D G F#m Em
"Did I really need another one to take me down?"
Em A
Everybody knows it's something that you had to live with darling
D G F#m Em
Nobody's gonna tear you down now
Em A
There is nothing you keep, there is only your reflection
Em D A Em [x2]
[Outro]
Em
There was nothing but quiet retractions
D A
And families pleading, "Don't look in that cabinet, there's far more bad than there's good,
Em
I don't know how it got there"
Em
That was something your father had burned in me
D
Twenty hours out of Homestake eternity
A Em
"You can go anywhere but you are where you came from"
Em
Little girl you are cursed by my ancestry
D
There is nothing but darkness and agony
A Em
I can not only see, but you stopped me from blinking
Em
Let me watch you as close as a memory
D
Let me hold you above all the misery
A Em
Let me open my eyes and be glad that I got here
