A                                                 
The silence is deafening, it's drowning out the truth 
    G             D                  A 
And killing every good thing that we try to do 
A 
It's so polite 'round here, it's hiding any fear 
     G              D              E 
That we don't talk about, we gotta shake that demon out 


 
Refrão -------------
G           A     
Tired of pretending 
     G             D                   A 
That everything is gonna work out just fine 
G           A 
Tired of pretending 
     G                  D                     A 
That no one's gonna get hurt if we just stand by 
               G       G/F# 
While we're descending 
            G        G/F# 
Tired of pretending
--------------------
 
 
 
It's an amazing thing, all the lies you tell 
They don't do anything but help you fool yourself 
Starting today I'm done, I'm through holding onto some  
Dark secret that we keep, I've bitten my tongue until it bleeds 
 
Repeat Chorus 
 
(Bridge) 
  G                  G/F# 
A house of cards is just like this home 
         G/F                                      E A 
With the flick of a finger the whole damn thing's gone 
 
 
Chorus
