The bridge is the only thing I am not 100% sure of!


A                                                
The silence is deafening, it’s drowning out the truth
    G             D                  A
And killing every good thing that we try to do
A
It’s so polite ‘round here, it’s hiding any fear
     G              D              E
That we don’t talk about, we gotta shake that demon out


Chorus:
G           A    
Tired of pretending
     G             D                   A
That everything is gonna work out just fine
G           A
Tired of pretending
     G                  D                     A
That no one’s gonna get hurt if we just stand by
               G       G/F#
While we’re descending
            G        G/F#
Tired of pretending


It’s an amazing thing, all the lies you tell
They don’t do anything but help you fool yourself
Starting today I’m done, I’m through holding onto some 
Dark secret that we keep, I’ve bitten my tongue until it bleeds

Repeat Chorus

(Bridge)
  G                  G/F#
A house of cards is just like this home
         G/F                                      E A
With the flick of a finger the whole damn thing’s gone


Chorus
