verse 1 
G G              D     D              Em    Em C D-C-D/A   
  It’s not the shouting or the angry words 
G G              D    D           Em     Em C D-C-D/A      
 It's not those looks, sideways glances 
D          D        C  C-D-C D  D             C     C 
  It's not do as I say,         it's not compliance 
          G       G D D-C-D/A  
It's the silence. 

verse 2 
G G             D       D               Em    Em C D-C-D/A         
  It's not the reasoning, it's not the logic 
G G              D       D              Em   Em C D-C-D/A  
  It's not the questions, the third degree 
D D           C       C-D-C D     D          C     C 
  It's not acceptance         and its not defiance  
            G       G D D-C-D/A       G       G D D-C-D/A  
  It's the silence,        It's the silence

  Fear of the unknown

  Says so much 

verse 3 
G G           D  D          Em    Em C D-C-D/A
