Hush Acoustic Version
View chords used in this chart
My first tab. Don't think it's originally in standard tuning.
F
You pray for quiet,
Inside you head the screams won’t silence;
G F
I remember those days...
The terror past our home; the fear that’s in your bones,
D F
It just won’t go away... NO...
A
The strangle holds, the insulting names,
F
The world of shit around his fist; the nose to nose beer stinking breath.
A
Thrown down onto the floor, so battered, bruised and sore
C F
Choke down on the truth of it, and touch it until you break your neck
D A
Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
G F
This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay.
D A
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
G F
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
D D
Just be still and praaayyy... and let the noise just fade away.
F
Retain to violence;
Atop your heart like a secret closet,
G F
So no one can penetrate...
You just can’t stand the touch; affection weighs too much,
D F
You push everyone awayyyyyy from...
A
The reckoning! The bitter stings,
F
Whipped so bad I pissed myself; still with a beating stub held belt
A
If this reminds you of home, you better know you’re not alone
C F
Hold the gun up to my head, I'll pull the trigger on myself!!!
D A
Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
G F
This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay.
D A
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
G F
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
D
Just be still and praaayyy
D# F G
These are the memories... In me
A D#
You didn’t want to know! You didn’t want to know!
F G
These are the memories we keep
F C
We don’t want to show! We don’t want to show!
F
By no you need to know, you’re not alone
D A
Hush is all I need, hush the misery;
G F
Hush belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
D A
Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
G F
This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay
D A
The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
G F
The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
D D F
Just be still and praaayyy... and let the noise just fade away...
