Hush Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][Dm][Am][C]
[Dm][E]

[Verse 1]
[F]You pray for quiet,
Inside your head the screams won't silence
I remember those [G]days[F]
The terror past our home,
the fear that's in your bones,
It just won't go [Dm]away, [E]no.[F]

[Verse 2]
The strangle [F]holds, the insulting [G]names,
[Am]The wound up shirt around his fist,
the nose to nose beer stinking [F]breath.
Thrown down onto the floor,
so battered, [G]bruised [Am]and sore
Choke down on the truth of [G]it,
and touch it until you break your [F]neck

[Verse 3]
Hell's where I was [Dm]born!
Hell's where I was [Am]raised,
This hell is where [G]I'm from and
this hell is where I'll [F]stay.
The hush is all I [Dm]need,
to hush the [Am]misery
The hush that belongs [G]to me,
like the hush inside of [F]dreams
Just be still and [Dm]pray,
and let the noise just fade [E]away.

[Verse 4]
[F]Retain to violence
Atop your heart like a secret closet,
So no one can penet[G]rate[F]
You just can't stand the touch,
affection weighs too much,
You push everyone [Dm]away [E]from[F]

[Verse 5]
The [F]reckoning! The bitter [G]stings,[Am]
Whipped so bad I pissed myself
still with a beating [G]stub held belt
[F]If this reminds you of home,
you better know you're [G]not [Am]alone
Hold the gun up to my [G]head,
I'll pull the trigger on my[F]self!

[Verse 6]
Hell's where I was [Dm]born!
Hell's where I was [Am]raised,
This hell is where [G]I'm from and
this hell is where [F]I'll stay.
The hush is all I [Dm]need,
to hush the [Am]misery
The hush that belongs [G]to me,
like the hush inside of [F]dreams
Just be still and pray
[Dm]

[Verse 7]
[Eb]
These are the [F]memor[Bb]ies.
In [Gm]me
You didn't want [Am]to know! [F]You
didn't [Bb]want [Eb]to know!
These are the [F]memories we [Gm]keep
We don't want [Am]to show! [F]We
don't [Bb]want [Cm]to show!
By now you need to know,
[C](Y [Dm]ou're not [G]alone)

[Verse 8]
Hush is all I [G]need,
[Dm]hush the m[G]isery[Am]
Hush belongs [G]to me, like the
[Am]hush in[G]side of [F]dreams
Hell's where I was [Dm]born!
Hell's where I was [Am]raised,
This hell is where [G]I'm from and
this hell is where I'll [F]stay
The hush is all I [Dm]need,
to hush the [Am]misery
The hush that belongs [G]to me,
like the hush inside of [F]dreams
Just be still and [Dm]pray and let
the noise just fade away
[E]
