[Verse 1]
EveryCmbody's got a million questions
EveryAbmaj7body wants to know the score
What Bbyou went through
It's something you should be G7susover now
EveryCmbody wants to hear the secrets
That you Abmaj7never told a soul before
And it's Bbnot that strange
'Cause it wouldn't change what happens G7susanyhow G/B
But you Cmswore to yourself a long time ago
There were Abmaj7some things that people never needed to know
This is Bbone that you keep, that you bury so deep
No one can Ftear it out
[Chorus]
And you Gcan't talk aAmbout it
'Cause you're Ffollowing a code of siGlence
You're never gonna lose the anAmger
You just Fdeal with it in a different Gway
And you can't G/Btalk about Cit C/E
And Fisn't that a kind of madGness
To be living by a G/Bcode of siClence
When you've Freally got a lot to F(2)/Asay
[Verse 2]
You Cmdon't want to lose a friendship
There's Abmaj7nothing that you have to hide
And a Bblittle dirt
Couldn't hurt no one G7susanyway
And you Cmstill have a rage inside you
That you Abmaj7carry with a certain pride
In the Bbonly part of a broken heart
That you could G7susever save G/B
But Cmyou've been through it once, you know how it ends
You Abmaj7don't see the point of going through it again
And Bbthis ain't the place and this ain't the time
And Fneither's any other day
[Chorus]
So you Gcan't talk aAmbout it
'Cause you're Ffollowing a code of siGlence
You're never gonna lose the anAmger
You just Fdeal with it in a different Gway
So you can't G/Btalk aCbout it C/E
And Fisn't that a kind of madGness
To be living by a G/Bcode of siClence
When you've Freally got a lot to F(2)/Asay
[Bridge]
EbI know you well F/Ebenough to tell You've got your Bb/Dreasons
EbThat's not the kind of F/Ebcode you're inclined to Bb/Dbreak
EbSome things unknown are bF/Ebest left alone forGm7ever
And if a voAbmaj7w is what it takes
Haven't you pF(2)aid for your mistakes?
[Interlude]
Cm Ab/C B/C G/C
[Verse 3]
CmAfter the moment passes
And the Abmaj7impulse disappears
You can Bbstill hold back
'Cause you don't crack very Gm7easily
It's a Cmtime-honored resolution
Because the Abmaj7danger is always near
It's Bbwith you now
But that ain't how it was supG7susposed to be G/B
And it's Cmhard to believe after all these years
That it Abmaj7still gives you pain and it still brings tears
And you Bbfeel like a fool, 'cause in spite all your rules
You've got a Fmemory
[Chorus]
But you Gcan't talk Amabout it
'Cause you're Ffollowing a code of siGlence
You're never gonna lose the anAmger
You just Fdeal with it in a different Gway
But you G/Bcan't talk aCbout it C/E
And Fisn't that a kind of madGness
To be living by a G/Bcode of siClence
When you've Freally got a lot to F(2)/Asay
