Versions Of Violence

Dm          C   Dm
Coercing or leaving
Dm                 C   Dm
Shutting down and punishing
Dm                     C  Dm
Running from rooms, defending
Dm                C  Dm
Withholding, justifying

                  Dm
These versions of violence
                             C
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
                       Dm
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once 
      C
disappeared

(Dm    C)
Diagnosing, analyzing
Unsolicited advice
Explaining and controlling,
Judging, attacking and meddling

(Dm    C)
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once 
disappeared

     Gm
This labeling
     Dm
This pointing
     Gm            Dm
This sensitive's unraveling
     Gm                Dm
This sting I've been ignoring
          Gm               Dm
I feel it way down way down

(Dm    C)
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once 
disappeared
