Intro
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm[/ch
Everybody's got a million questions
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
Everybody wants to know the score
ch]Bb[/ch
What you went through
ch]G7sus[/ch
It's something you should be over now
ch]Cm[/ch
Everybody wants to hear the secrets
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
That you never told a soul before
ch]Bb[/ch
And it's not that strange
ch]G7sus[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
'Cause it wouldn't change what happens anyhow
ch]Cm[/ch
But you swore to yourself a long time ago
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
There were some things that people never needed to know
ch]Bb[/ch
This is one that you keep, that you bury so deep
ch]F[/ch
No one can tear it out
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And you can't talk about it
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
'Cause you're following a code of silence
ch]Am[/ch
You're never gonna lose the anger
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You just deal with it in a different way
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
And you can't talk about it
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And isn't that a kind of madness
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
To be living by a code of silence
ch]F[/ch] [ch]F2/A[/ch
When you've really got a lot to say
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm[/ch
You don't want to lose a friendship
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
There's nothing that you have to hide
ch]Bb[/ch
And a little dirt
ch]G7sus[/ch
Couldn't hurt no one anyway
ch]Cm[/ch
And you still have a rage inside you
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
That you carry with a certain pride
ch]Bb[/ch
In the only part of a broken heart
ch]G7sus[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
That you could ever save
ch]Cm[/ch
But you've been through it once, you know how it ends
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
You don't see the point of going through it again
ch]Bb[/ch
And this ain't the place and this ain't the time
ch]F[/ch
And neither's any other day
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
So you can't talk about it
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
'Cause you're following a code of silence
ch]Am[/ch
You're never gonna lose the anger
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You just deal with it in a different way
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
So you can't talk about it
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And isn't that a kind of madness
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
To be living by a code of silence
ch]F[/ch] [ch]F2/A[/ch
When you've really got a lot to say
ch]Eb[/ch] [ch]F/Eb[/ch] [ch]Bb/D[/ch
I know you well enough to tell You've got your reasons
ch]Eb[/ch] [ch]F/Eb[/ch] [ch]Bb/D[/ch
That's not the kind of code you're inclined to break
ch]Eb[/ch] [ch]F/Eb[/ch] [ch]Gm7[/ch
Some things unknown are best left alone forever
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
And if a vow is what it takes
ch]F2[/ch
Haven't you paid for your mistakes?
Interlude
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Cm[/ch
After the moment passes
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
And the impulse disappears
ch]Bb[/ch
You can still hold back
ch]Gm7[/ch
'Cause you don't crack very easily
ch]Cm[/ch
It's a time-honored resolution
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
Because the danger is always near
ch]Bb[/ch
It's with you now
ch]G7sus[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
But that ain't how it was supposed to be
ch]Cm[/ch
And it's hard to believe after all these years
ch]Abmaj7[/ch
That it still gives you pain and it still brings tears
ch]Bb[/ch
And you feel like a fool, 'cause in spite all your rules
ch]F[/ch
You've got a memory
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
But you can't talk about it
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
'Cause you're following a code of silence
ch]Am[/ch
You're never gonna lose the anger
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
You just deal with it in a different way
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
But you can't talk about it
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And isn't that a kind of madness
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
To be living by a code of silence
ch]F[/ch] [ch]F2/A[/ch
When you've really got a lot to say
Repeat and fade
