(Non Capo)

(Intro,)
|(Dm) / / / |(Dm) / / / |(Dm) / / / |(Dm) /

(Verse)
Ifve been swallowing (Dm)thunder, just to keep the peace
Smiling through the (Dm)wreckage, so they donft see the bleed
They say man up stay (Dm)steady, like itfs that damn easy
But you (Dm)donft hear the war thatfs been living in me

(Pre-Chorus)
I tried to numb the (F)noise,  I tried to play it (Dm)strong
But silence only (F)teaches pain how to grow (Dm)arms

(Chorus)
I donft bleed (Dm)quiet I donft heal
Every scars I (C)carry still talks back
I wear my (Dm)damage like a loaded gun
Ainft looking for (C)mercy I just wonft run
I donft break (Dm)pretty I donft stay calm
When the weight of the (C)worldfs on my spine
Yeah, I feel it (Dm)all, every cut every ri-(F)ot
(Dm) I donft bleed quiet

(Verse)
Ifve been losing (Dm)sleep to ghosts I never bury
Every youfll be (Dm)fine feels heavy when you carry it
Ifve held my (Dm)breath through years just to not explode
But pressure turns to (Dm)violence when itfs locked below

(Pre-Chorus)
They only hear you (Bb)scream when the damage is (Gm)done
But Ifve been bleeding (Bb)truth since the day this be-(Gm)gum

(Chorus)
I donft bleed (Dm)quiet, I donft heal fast
Every scar I (C)carry still talks back
I wear my (Dm)damages like a loaded gun
Ainft looking for (C)mercy I just wonft run
I donft beak (Dm)pretty I donft stay calm
When the weight of the (C)worldfs on my spine
Yeah I feel it (Dm)all, every cut every ri-(F)ot
(Dm) I donft bleed quiet quiet quiet quiet

(Bridge)
Maybe Ifm (Bb) too much baby I feel too deep (Gm)
But Ifd rather (Bb)scream the truth and die in my (Gm)sleep
If painfs a (Bb)prize for being alive (Gm)
Then hear me, (Bb)now I survive (Gm)

(Chorus)
I donft bleed (Dm)quiet, I donft heal fast
Every scar I (C)carry still talks back
Ifve been forging (Dm)fire baptized in pain
Still standing (C)here, still saying my name
I donft break (Dm)easy, I donft stay silent
I wonft (Dm)choke on the words they deny me
Yeah. I feel it (Dm)all, I wonft deny it
I donft bleed (Dm)quiet / / / (Dm) / / /

(Outro.)
Oh, if you (Dm)hear me shaking, thatfs the truth breaking free (F)
I donft bleed (Dm)quiet thatfs how I stay me - - - - -
