Silence is King (transcribed by Jim McGuire)

Introduction

Am

Am put small finger on G note

Am put index finger on F note

Am

She tests every word like a fine wine

Am………………G…………F….Am…..

She holds every thought like her last dime

Am………………..G……………….F….Am

You could hear a pin drop from miles away

C…………………..G………………Dm…Am.

You could hear a heart stop as plain as day

C……………………G……………Bm……E..

We live in a world where silence is king

F……………..C……………G……….Am

Whispers have all disappeared

C……………….G……….Dm….

Cry for an echo you won’t hear a thing

C…………..G……….Dm………….Am

Silence is king around here

F………….Dm…………Am

SAME CHORDS AS 1^ST VERSE

Where are the dreams we were after

Where is the joy and the laughter

Were they only habits we were doomed to lose

Or is destiny not ours to choose

We live in a world where silence is king

Whispers have all disappeared

Cry for an echo you won’t hear a thing

Silence is king around here

Desperate measures come from desperate times

C…………..G……………………….Dm……..Am..

I don’t regret what I have done

C……….G……….Dm……Am.

If my actions make you speak your mind

C……..G………………….Dm………Am

Angry words are better than none

F………………….Dm………..E

SAME CHORDS AS BEFORE

We live in a world where silence is king

Whispers have all disappeared

Cry for an echo you won’t hear a thing

Silence is king around here

Silence is king around here
