Silent War

C                     Am
Stifling this day is stifling
                    F
You're sprawled out like a king
       G                        C
On the sheets of my queen-sized bed

C                  Am
And I'm too hot to lie beside
             F
possessed of idle mind
     G                     C
this calm is a false friend

C                   Am
Jealousy I suspect jealousy
             F
Something is changing me
     G                        C
Real slow from the inside out

C                     Am
It seems you mean too much to me
             F
Too much for comfort see
    G                     C
The cause is the cure now


C           F
We fought a silent war
       G                      C   
In the hardware store and the air 
             Am
was thick as paint
         F                         
Though I carried it on I knew that 
 G
I was wrong
      C              Am
But I fight when I'm afraid

      F               Dm    G     C
And I come with guns a-blaaaaazing

C                      Am
Someone once I forget who it was
              F
Said Do not think so much
          G                        
You can't hear what your heart says
 C


C                       
But it speaks it tugs and 
   Am
puddle-leaps
             F
And bangs my ribs to pieces
G                        C
Thoughts are the safe bet

   F               Dm
My guns will come a-blazing
  F               G    C
A lesser man would be afraid

    Dm          C         Dm     
And Oh how you razed me oh to the
    C
 ground
    Dm           Am         F
And love oh you brought me down
         Dm           G           
with the sound of the shaming as 
   G7        C
you went out

C F Dm

    G                  C
The cause is the cure now

  F                Dm
A lesser man would break free
     F               G           C
I'm sorry 's all I meant to say
