              INTRO:(Em - G - Am - G - D - Em - Am) 
 
G 
Keep your clever lines 
Em 
Hold your easy rhymes 
G 
Silence everything 
Em                     C 
Silence always wins 
          Dm7 
It?s a perfect alibi 
                 C 
There?s no need to analyze 
         G 
It will be all right 
                    Am 
Through the longest night 
       G 
Just silence everything 
Em                     A               C                G 
      But we could live by the foot of the mountain 
Em                  A            C               G 
      We could clear us a yard in the back

      Build a home by the foot of the mountain

      We could stay there and never come back 
G 
Learn from my mistake 
Em 
Leave what others take 
G 
Speak when spoken to 
Em                           C 
And do what others do 
Dm7 
Silence always wins 
     C 
So silence everything 
         G 
It will be all right 
             Am 
In the morning light 
       G 
Just silence everything 
Em                     A               C                G 
      But we could live by the foot of the mountain 
Em                 A            C               G 
      We could clear us a yard in the back

      We could stay there and never come back

You know it           We could leave tonight 
Em                     A               C                G 
      But we could live by the foot of the mountain 
Em                  A               C              G 
      We could make us a white picket fence
