Main Part: E A
Bridge: C#m A
Intro: E A E A
E
Even with the lights out I'm still feeling nervous
A
Keep it to myself. An island in a furnace
E
I don't want to say it. I just want to lay here
A
Always on my mind, I'd rather we just know it
E
Needles when I'm talking. Nothing feels the same here
A
Pull myself together while I'm getting older
E
I don't wanna to say it. I don't wanna answer
A
Keep it to myself. Tonight I can't say nothing
C#m
Turn off the sound tonight. The silence was much better
A
Look in your eyes a sign. Our thoughts all blend together
C#m
Quiet and underground. The feeling was just being
A
Nothing but time for us. Our thoughts all lose their meaning
C#m
Inside a light for us. The days are getting shorter
A
And how i want to stay. Just send my letters over
C#m
Keeping the sun light out. Hearts gently beat together
A
Nothing was left to say. The silence is much better
E
Needles when I'm talking. Nothing feels the same here
A
Pull myself together while I'm getting older
E
I don't wanna to say it. I don't wanna answer
A
Keep it to myself. Tonight I can't say nothing.
E
Even with the lights out I'm still feeling nervous
A
Keep it to myself. An island in a furnace
E
I don't want to say it. I just want to lay here
A
Always on my mind, I'd rather we just know it
E A
I don’t want to know
E A
I don’t want to know
