The Silence

D A E F#m D A E A

[Verse 1]

Another knot of dreams
     F#m                 A
They keep chewing up my sleep
             D                 A  
And spitting out my whole 
           E
work-week every morning
           A
Well this city is a sea
        F#m              A
And its undertow grabbed me
               D             A 
And dragged me off into the deep 
               E
without a warning

[Chorus]
    D               A          E 
I'm longing for the silence, a 
              F#m
field to lay my head
          D               A       
Where the engines and the sirens 
   E            A
are no longer my debt
          D              
And I can finally hear my 
 A                  C#            
conscience, listen close to what 
   F#m
it said:
       D                       
If you don't make your bed, you 
 E                    A
don't have to lie in it.

[Verse 2]
           A
And in the morning when I rise
      F#m            A
Every step's a compromise:
      D                  A        
Motor fumes, and burning eyes, and
          E
 drunken violence
            A
Through the city, tall as trees
        F#m             A
Hydrant rivers fill the street
          D                  A    
And I can hear the birds and bees 
             E
in the next apartment

[Chorus]
    D               A          E 
I'm longing for the silence, a 
              F#m
field to lay my head
          D               A       
Where the engines and the sirens 
   E            A
are no longer my debt
          D              
And I can finally hear my 
 A                  C#            
conscience, listen close to what 
   F#m
it said:
       D                       
If you don't make your bed, you 
 E                    A
don't have to lie in it.

[Verse 3]
            A
I've got my backpack and my tent
      F#m                  A
And a thumb pointing to heaven
             D        A           
And a couple bucks to spend if I 
     E
get hungry
     A
This land demands no rent
           F#m              A
Though the air I breathe is lent
        D            A            
And the sun is so quiet as it 
   E
shines on me

[Chorus]
    D               A          E 
I'm longing for the silence, a 
              F#m
field to lay my head
          D               A       
Where the engines and the sirens 
   E            A
are no longer my debt
          D              
And I can finally hear my 
 A                  C#            
conscience, listen close to what 
   F#m
it said:
       D                       
If you don't make your bed, you 
 E                    F#m
don't have to lie in it.
       D                       
If you don't make your bed, you 
 E                    A
don't have to lie in it
