F#m E D If I am silent, then E I am not real F#m E D If I speak up, then E No one will hear F#m E D If I wear a mask, there's E Somewhere to hide Chorus: A E Silence is golden Bm G I have been broken A E Safe in my own skin Bm G So nobody wins If I raise my voice, will Someone get hurt? And if I can't feel, then I won't get touched If no truths are spoken, then No lies can hide Chorus: Silence is golden I have been broken Safe in my own skin So nobody wins Silence is golden Nobody gets in Safe in my own skin So nobody wins G Did you hear me speak? F# Do you understand? G Did you hear my voice? F# Will you hold my hand? G F# Do you understand me? G D/F# A Won't someone listen? Nobody gets in My body's a temple B But nothing is simple Silence is golden I have been broken Something was stolen Safe in my own skin Safe in my own skin Won't someone listen? My body's a temple But nothing is simple My body's a temple But nothing is simple Something was stolen I have been broken I have been broken Silence is golden I have been broken Safe in my own skin You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  B  Bm  D  E  F#  F#m  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
