[Verse 1]
EmYou were shot dowDn for banging on sidewalks, Gwaking up sovereign states
EmRaking up graves and Dwasting your common Ggrace
GCreatures outside were Dposting your face upEm, dreaming of shadowpDlay
If you could Emstraighten that spine you got a Dway to decide your faGte
[Chorus]
GInstead of Dbreaking your silence, you could Abe the same way
And Gkeep your favors to yourself, but
They Dcould see in your eyes there's not a tAhing they could say so
[Verse 2]
EmHolding on tight Dto places you remember, kGeeping your story straight
EmTaking your time with Dfriends you invite to your waGke
GYou were so tired of wDaking up, shaking, Emfacing your passing Edays
EmRolling in circles, hDoping the fever would Gbreak
[Chorus]
GInstead of Dbreaking your word you can Apay to make sure they never Gback the train up, but
GThey can Dread in your mind, you've got a Areason to stay so
GInstead of Dbreaking your silence you could Abe the same way
And Gkeep your favors to yourself, but
They could Dsee in your eye there's not a Athing they could say so
[Interlude]
Em  D  G

[Chorus]
GInstead of Dbreaking your word you can Apay to make sure they never Gback the train up, but
GThey can Dread in your mind, you've got a Areason to stay so
GInstead of Dbreaking your silence you could Abe the same way
And Gkeep your favors to yourself, but
They could Dsee in your eye there's not a Athing they could say so
GInstead of Dbreaking your word you can Apay to make sure they never Gback the train up, but
GThey can Dread in your mind, you've got a Areason to stay so
