it was my wife’s idea

she left me traveling alone

oh i’ve never heard silence

ring out like a bell
F Am
i’ve never heard silence

like last night , in my expensive hotel

as she walked out of the hotel

i could still smell the smoke

of a burning heart left inside

she said men are all assholes
F F#
and life’s a bad joke
C G C
she laughed then started to cry
C
see ten years with this man

and a lifetime of plans
F G
well i loved him to his bones
C C7
now i have lines on my skin
F F#
and he’s traded me in
C G C
he left me traveling alone

F C
oh i’ve never heard silence
F C
come and hit me like a train
F Am
i’ve never heard silence
D G
and i’m trying to catch the rain
F C
but i’ve never heard silence
G F Am
like blood , that flows through my veins
F Am
oh i’m loving a shadow

till i heard it today

i’ve never heard silence
G F C
like i heard it today
