[Verse 1]
All these Cmstrangers
Everywhere is Ebdanger, this anger
Has got me Abhating everyone that I Fmsee
And all these Cmfaces
I'm so Ebafraid of the state of my mind
AbEveryone's looking at Fmme
[Pre-Chorus]
CmI can hear the chaos and the fear
(BbI'm not alone, but no one's here)
EbSo I'm listening for the silence Fmnow
CmNa-na-na, na-na-ow
BbNa-na-na, na-na-na-na-ow
DNa-na-na-na-ow-Fmow
[Chorus]
I Cmswear I can hear it so Bclear
Even though it's loud inBbside my head
So I'm Ebsilent, silent
My Cmfear is you don't hear what I Bhear
Can you make the voices Bbdisappear?
So I keep Eblistening for the silence
 N.C.
(Listening for the silence)
[Verse 2]
CmTeasing, while you're Ebdegrading my patience
I'm breaking, Abscared of all the shadows I Fmsee
And could you Cmsave me?
Anybody Ebknow what they're saying?
Please tell me, AbI just want them to Fmleave
[Pre-Chorus]
CmI can hear the chaos and the fear
(BbI'm not alone, but no one's here)
EbSo I'm listening for the silence Fmnow
CmNa-na-na, na-na-ow
BbNa-na-na, na-na-na-na-ow
DNa-na-na-na-ow-Fmow
[Chorus]
I Cmswear I can hear it so Bclear
Even though it's loud inBbside my head
So I'm Ebsilent, silent
My Cmfear is you don't hear what I Bhear
Can you make the voices Bbdisappear?
So I keep Eblistening for the silence
