 G
Keep your clever lines
Em
Hold your easy rhymes
 G
Silence everything
 Em             C
Silence always wins
        Dm7
It's a perfect alibi
            Em
There's no need to analyze
         G
It will be all right
             Am
Through the longest night
      G
Just silence everything

Chorus:
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
Am      Em    D      C           B
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
Em         D             C          G
We could stay there and never come back

Learn from my mistake
Leave what others take
Speak when spoken to
And do what others do
Silence always wins
So silence everything
It will be all right
In the morning light
Just silence everything

Chorus:
But we could live by the foot of a mountain
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
We could stay there and never come back

You know it, we could leave tonight

Chorus:
But we could live by the foot of a mountain
We could make us a white picket fence
Build a home by the foot of the mountain
We could stay there and see how it ends
Yes, we could stay there and see how it ends
We could stay there and see how it ends
We could stay there and see how it ends
