Verse:
Em                      D   -   Dsus4  -  D
Light up a cigarette to kill time
Cadd9                      G        G*
Pacing this floor another dozen times
Em7                       D
If there was someway to express it otherwise
Cadd9
I would

Em                        D   -   Dsus4  -  D
Fed up of fighting over crumbs and dust
Cadd9                      G          G*
Don’t have to be this way, a hollow trust
Em7                         D
If we could find some way to make it right
Cadd9     G  -  G*
We would, we would

Chorus:
(Mute)
And then
Cadd9	         D
The silence came
              Em7          G-G*
There was not a word to say
      Cadd9            D
One hour felt like a day
        Em7           G-G*
When the silence came
          Cadd9	         D
We felt it on our bodies
              Em7        G-G*
No way to turn it around
         Cadd9            D
One hour felt like a day
        Em7
When the silence came
        G  -  G*
When the silence came

Can’t hear nothing but the dripping from the tap
Blowing kisses no one will grab
Need to organise this life that we have
If we could

God knows what we have sacrificed
Guess we deserve the days of our lives
Wish we could learn how to let things slide away
Just for a day

And then
The silence came
There was not a word to say
One hour felt like a day
When the silence came
We felt it on our bodies
No way to turn it around
One hour felt like a day
When the silence came
When the silence came

When the silence came

God knows what we have sacrificed
Guess we deserve the days of our lives
Wish we could learn how to let things slide
For a day

And then
The silence came
There was not a word to say
One hour felt like a day
When the silence came
We felt it on our bodies
No way to turn it around
One hour felt like a day
When the silence came
When the silence came

When the silence came
Then the silence came
Yes it came.
