anymore'cause
C
it is not enG
ough to be D
dumbstruck.(Can you fill the silence?)
Tell me a piece of your history
that you've never said out loud.
Pull the rug beneath my feet
and shake me to the ground.
Wrap me around your fingers
break the silence open wide
and before it seeps into my ears
it fills me up from the inside.
Now you've hit a wall and you're lost for words
my dear my dear my dear.
Now you've hit a wall and you hit it hard
my dear my dear oh dear.
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill this silence?)
you must have the words in that head of yours.
And oh oh can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck.
(Can you fill the silence?)
If you
C
give it a name then it's already won.What you
G
good for what you D
good for?If you
C
give it a name then it's already won.What you
G
good for what you D
good for?If you
C
give it a name then it's G
already won.What you
D
good for what you good for?If you
C
give it a name then it's G
already won.What you
Em
good for what you D
good for?It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill this silence?)
you must have the words in that head of yours.
And oh oh can you feel the silence?
I can't take it anymore
'cause it is not enough to be dumbstruck oh.
