Intro: Am C F (2x)
Am
I'm on my own where I found you alone
Dm E
You were caught up in somebody else's mess.
Am
And yes, I drank all those drinks on my own,
Dm E
My life's become some blurry little quest.
Am
And the clock kept ticking slowly
At the end of it, you'd ask me
Dm E
If I even had a clue where I was.
Am
I lie down on your wood floors
And my brain and body took cause
Dm E
In the night and in they stole, they never was.
F Am
It all began to feel the same
F Am
I wanna know where they keep the rain.
F C
Silvia, right back where you came from,
Am C
You're a pendulum, heartbroken and numb but
F C Am
Silvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough
C
Enough is enough.
Am C F (2x)
Am
Sick to the bone on my steps to my home,
Dm E
The moon shines through the drapery and leaves.
Am
To hurt to ignore everyone of my own,
Dm E
My true love just to feel so made of bricks.
Am
But as my body crumble, you walked as I just stumble
Dm E
We spoke only of things made in my head.
Am
You never once controlled me, what all the others told me
Dm E
But if I kept on going I'd be dead.
F Am
It's not just you who felt the pain
F Am
Now tell me where they keep the rain.
F C
Silvia, right back where you came from,
Am C
You're a pendulum, heartbroken and numb but
F C Am
Silvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough
C
Enough's always too tough.
G F
See what I've done now, I don't understand
Am
She says I'm screaming and I raise my hand.
G F
But I never meant to, wasn't even there,
Am C
I never meant to, I would never dare.
F C
Silvia, right back where you came from,
Am C
You're a pendulum, heartbroken and numb but
F C Am
Silvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough
C
Enough's always too tough.
F C
Silvia, right back where you came from,
Am C
You're a pendulum, heartbroken and numb but
F C Am
Silvia, no one's gonna tell you when enough's enough
C
Enough is enough.
