C                     A#
I can't call you a stranger
             C      A#
But I can't call you
             C            F
I know you think that I erased you
         C             F
You may hate me but I can't hate you
                C
And I won't replace you

A#                               C
Tell me how to feel about you now?
A#                               C
Tell me how to feel about you now?
       F
Oh oh let me know
C                  F
Do I suffocate or let go?

                           A#
Think I'm tired of getting over it
           C                 A#
And just starting something new again
             C             F
I'm getting sick of the beginnings
    C                      F
And always coming to your defenses

I guess it's good to get it off my chest
I guess I can't believe I haven't yet
You know I got my own convictions
And they're stronger than any addiction
And no one's winning

Chorus - x2

                      Gm
Keep me up with your silence
Dm                      Am
Take me down with your quiet
                        Gm
Of all the weapons you fight with
Dm                        Am
Your silence is the most violent

Chorus - x2

You don't have to tell me
If you ever think of me
I know you see me dancing wildly in the fog
Of your memory
You don't have to tell me
I can still believe
