Intro: E 

E 
One, two, three, four! 

E C#m E C#m E C#m G#m A (x2) 

Verse 

          E  
Well the silence hasn't been broken 
N.C. 
As we reach the point of utter disgust 
N.C. 
As the weeks drag on, the lies unfold 
N.C. 
The alcohol loses its touch 
N.C. 
And I once held your words close to my heart 
N.C. 
With a knife protecting all of them 
N.C. 
But now we've made our beds in a deep, dense forest 
N.C. 
We're sound 
                      E 
We'll never take the blame 

Interlude 

E C#m E C#m E C#m G#m A (x2) 

Verse 

      E 
As I dig my hands in the cold, dark dirt 
N.C. 
In a search for roots now lost forever 
N.C. 
With one last great hope of a messiah 
N.C. 
I check the time and admit to the surrender terms 
N.C. 
Remember the days when I had a conscience? 
N.C. 
Yeah, me neither 
        G#m           C#m         G#m      A 
And I'm warning, I'm warning, I'm warning you 
        G#m           C#m         G#m      A 
And I'm warning, I'm warning, I'm warning you 

     A                E 
That I can't seem to tell 
     A                E 
That I can't seem to tell 
     A                E 
That I can't seem to tell 
            B                        C#m 
If it's my head or the earth that's spinning around 
     A                E 
That I can't seem to tell 
     A                E 
That I can't seem to tell 
     A                E  B C#m     E 
That I can't seem to teeeeeell anymore
