                Gm D#              A#       F
This is not the song I wanted to write for you
                Gm  D#           A#       Dm
This is not the way I wanted to make you feel
                  Gm  D#
The truth is so unkind
                 A#                          F
I can't stop the way that it sounds in your mind
                      Gm    D#                A#
It's loud and it's distorted, the longer you avoid
  F
it

Chorus:
            A#                             F
Too much to settle so I hide in my golden cage
            Cm                               Gm
Silence is starving, humble pie on a paper plate
          A#                                  F
Going in circles and my pride is the piece I hold
              Cm
I will never settle cause to settle would
            Gm
crush our souls

            A#   F              Cm     Gm
Too much to settle, silence is starving
              A#  F               Cm    Gm
I will never settle, I will never settle
          A#   F              Cm     Gm
Going in circles, silence is starving
              A#  F               Cm    Gm
I will never settle, I will never settle

Caught a glimpse of a normal life
Terrified by the sight
We belong to another time
Dropping vanishing names we knew
But if they don't care about it
Do you still care about it?

Too much to settle
Silence is starving
I will never settle
I will never settle

Chorus:
(Too much to settle)
So I hide in my golden cage
(Silence is starving)
Humble pie on a paper plate
(Going in circles)
And my pride is the piece I hold
(I will never settle)
Cause to settle would crush our souls
To settle would crush our souls

A#             F                          Cm
We will never settle, it would crush our souls,
   Gm     A#
ooooh, ooooh
A#             F                          Cm
We will never settle, it would crush our souls,
   Gm     A#
ooooh, ooooh

(We will never settle)
(t would crush our souls, oh, oh)
(We will never settle)
(It would crush our souls, oh, oh)
