G               D 
A question well served 
C#m7(b5)           Cadd9      Fsus/C 
Is silence like a fever, 
G             D 
A voice never heard 
C#m7(b5)              Cadd9      Fsus/C 
Or a message with no receiver? 
 
Em              Am7 
Pray they won't ask 
Dadd9/A              Em 
Behind the stained glass 
Cadd9(#4)               D/C 
There's always one more mask 
 
G              D 
Has man been a victim 
C#m7(b5)             Cadd9          Fsus/C 
Of his woman, of his father? 
G                   D 
If he elects not to bother 
C#m7(b5)                Cadd9         Fsus/C 
Will he suffocate their faith? 
 
Em            Am7 
Desperate to fall 
Dadd9/A          Em 
Behind the great wall 
Cadd9(#4)  D/C 
That separates us all 
E                  F#m7(sus4)/C#      Aadd9/E       Badd4/F# 
When there is          reason         tonight   I'm awake 
E               F#m7(sus4)/C#     Aadd9/E     Badd4/F# 
When there's no    answer         arrive  the silent man 
E          F#m7(sus4)/C#      Aadd9/E       Badd4/F# 
If there is balance           tonight  he's awake 
E                      F#m7(sus4)/C#     Aadd9/E     Badd4/F# 
And If they have to     suffer           there lies the silent man

Em                Am7 
Sin without deceivers 
Dadd9/A           Em 
A god with no believers 
        Cadd9(#4)      D/C 
I could sail by on the winds of silence 
    Badd11            Em 
And maybe they won't notice 
         Cadd9                D D 
But this time I think it'd be better if I swim 
 
 
E                  F#m7(sus4)/C#      Aadd9/E       Badd4/F# 
When there is          reason         tonight   I'm awake 
E               F#m7(sus4)/C#     Aadd9/E     Badd4/F# 
When there's no    answer         arrive  the silent man 
E          F#m7(sus4)/C#      Aadd9/E       Badd4/F# 
If there is balance           tonight  he's awake 
E                      F#m7(sus4)/C#     Aadd9/E     Badd4/F#  A/C#  Badd4/F# 
And If they have to     suffer           there lies the silent man 
 
      C#m  B   A  F#m   E 
There lies the silent man
