VERSE:
Em7   There's a silence surrounding me
Em    I can't seem to think straight
D/E   I sit in the corner
C/E   No one can bother me

Em    I think I should speak now        (Why won't you talk to me)
Em    I can't seem to speak now         (You never talk to me)
Am    My words won't come out right     (What are you thinking)
Em    I feel like I'm drowning          (What are you feeling)

Em    I'm feeling weak now              (Why won't you talk to me)
Em    But I can't show my weakness      (You never talk to me)
D/E   I sometimes wonder                (What are you thinking)
C7    Where do we go from here          (What are you feeling)

Em    (You never talk to me)            You know I can't breathe now
D/E   (What are you thinking)           We're going nowhere
C/E   (What are you feeling)            We're going nowhere
