[Verse 1]
[G]I've seen a lot[C] of things in life
[G]that words can't explain
See we ain't any [Eb]different[D]
but we just [G]stay the [C]same
[G]They never listen when we tell 'em,
[Eb]tell 'em
All [D]they understand is venom, venom
[G]People only use you when you let 'em,
let 'em
Well if [C]that's the case then
I'm the one to blame
[G]Coz there's a man over board
And the [Eb]tides gonna drag him down
If there's [D]a man in the c[G]louds
Tell me where the [C]hell is he now
Why is the silence so loud?
[G]Have I thrown it all the way?
[Eb]Lemme [D]know, Lemme [C]know
Tell [G]me is that [C]what [Am]happe[G]ns just for[C]
[Am]having a [G]good in[C]tention, [G]tension oh oh
[C]Look what [Eb]happened to my good intention,
ten[D]sion oh oh
Why [G]won't anybody answer
my question
Why is the si[C]lence so loud?
I [G]think I've thrown it all the way
I [Eb]don't know, I don't [D]know
[G]But lemme know
Hear me out before you label me
the [C]bad one
I'm walking through the desert but
I'm drowning inside
[G]No river runs deeper than the
tear from my eye
You only make 'em get even bitter,
bitter
I wish I [Eb]wasn't such a
giver, giver
I apoligise to my [D]liver, liver
Coz if that's the case [C]then
your the one to blame
Coz there's a man over board
And the tides gonna [G]drag him down
If there's a man [C]in the clouds
Then tell me where the hell is he [G]now
[F]Why is [Em]the silence so loud?
Have [C]I thrown it all the w[Am]ay?
Lemme [C]know, Lemme know
Tell [G]me is that what [C]happens [Gm]just
[G]for having [C]a good intention, oh
[Eb]Look what happened to my
good inten[D]tion, oh
Why [G]won't anybody answer my question
[D]Why is the silence so loud
I [C]think I've thrown it [G]all the way
I don't [Eb]know, I don't know
[D]But [G]lemme know
[C]Hear me out before you
[G]label me [E]the bad[A] one
Am I wrong to [D]think the
worlds got it in [G]for me
[Eb]And am I r[C]ight to say I'm longing
for [G]some sympathy
See I feel a sound, but I can[Eb]'t hear it
That's my heart [D]strings getting
played like a [G]symphony
Yo, you know you turned me insane
Why you staring at [C]window when
I'm the one with the pain
You know you [G]set me off the rails
And [Eb]you'll be to blame
[D]If you're ever here
I dropped in [C]front of the
train with both
Coz there's a man over board
And the tides gonna [G]drag him down
If there's [D]a man [Eb]in th[C]e [F]clouds[D]
Well tell me [G]where the hell is he now
Why is [C]the silence so loud?
Have I thrown it all the
way?
Lemme know, Lemme [G]know
Tell me is that what [C]happens just
[G]for having a g[C]ood intention, oh
Look [Eb]what happened to my
good inten[D]tion, oh
Why [G]won't anybody [C]an
swer my question
Why is [Eb]the silence so loud
I think I've thrown it all the way
I don't know, I don't know
But [D]lemme know
Hear me out before you
label me [G]the bad one
