F#m      E        D
If I am silent, then
          E
I am not real
F#m         E      D
If I speak up, then
             E
No one will hear
F#m          E           D
If I wear a mask, there's
              E
Somewhere to hide

Chorus:
 A          E
Silence is golden
Bm            G
I have been broken
A          E
Safe in my own skin
Bm         G
So nobody wins

If I raise my voice, will
Someone get hurt?
And if I can't feel, then
I won't get touched
If no truths are spoken, then
No lies can hide

Chorus:
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins
Silence is golden
Nobody gets in
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

                   G
Did you hear me speak?
               F#
Do you understand?
                 G
Did you hear my voice?
                 F#
Will you hold my hand?
               G     F#
Do you understand me?

G       D      A
Won't someone listen?
Nobody gets in
My body's a temple
     B
But nothing is simple

Silence is golden
I have been broken
Something was stolen
Safe in my own skin

Safe in my own skin
Won't someone listen?
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple

My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
Something was stolen
I have been broken

I have been broken
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
