[INTRO]
[Am] [G/B] [C]
[Am] [Bb2] [G]
[Am] [G/B] [C]
[C] [F(2)/A]

[Am] [G/B] [C]
[Am] [Bb2] [G]
[Am] [G/B] [C]
[C] [F(2)/A]

[VERSE 1]
Every[Cm]body's got a million questions
Every[Abmaj7]body wants to know the score
What [Bb]you went through
It's something you should be [G7sus]over now
Every[Cm]body wants to hear the secrets
That you [Abmaj7]never told a soul before
And it's [Bb]not that strange
'Cause it wouldn't change what happens [G7sus]anyhow [G/B]

But you [Cm]swore to yourself a long time ago
There were [Abmaj7]some things that people never needed to know
This is [Bb]one that you keep, that you bury so deep
No one can [F]tear it out

[CHORUS]
And you [G]can't talk a[Am]bout it
'Cause you're [F]following a code of si[G]lence
You're never gonna lose the an[Am]ger
You just [F]deal with it in a different [G]way

And you can't [G/B]talk about [C]it [C/E]
And [F]isn't that a kind of mad[G]ness
To be living by a [G/B]code of si[C]lence
When you've [F]really got a lot to [F(2)/A]say

[VERSE 2]
You [Cm]don't want to lose a friendship
There's [Abmaj7]nothing that you have to hide
And a [Bb]little dirt
Couldn't hurt no one [G7sus]anyway
And you [Cm]still have a rage inside you
That you [Abmaj7]carry with a certain pride
In the [Bb]only part of a broken heart
That you could [G7sus]ever save [G/B]

But [Cm]you've been through it once, you know how it ends
You [Abmaj7]don't see the point of going through it again
And [Bb]this ain't the place and this ain't the time
And [F]neither's any other day

[CHORUS]
So you [G]can't talk a[Am]bout it
'Cause you're [F]following a code of si[G]lence
You're never gonna lose the an[Am]ger
You just [F]deal with it in a different [G]way

So you can't [G/B]talk a[C]bout it [C/E]
And [F]isn't that a kind of mad[G]ness
To be living by a [G/B]code of si[C]lence
When you've [F]really got a lot to [F(2)/A]say

[BRIDGE]
[Eb]I know you well [F/Eb]enough to tell You've got your [Bb/D]reasons
[Eb]That's not the kind of [F/Eb]code you're inclined to [Bb/D]break
[Eb]Some things unknown are b[F/Eb]est left alone for[Gm7]ever
And if a vo[Abmaj7]w is what it takes
Haven't you p[F(2)]aid for your mistakes?

[INTERLUDE]
[Cm] [Ab/C] [B/C] [G/C]

[VERSE 3]
[Cm]After the moment passes
And the [Abmaj7]impulse disappears
You can [Bb]still hold back
'Cause you don't crack very [Gm7]easily

It's a [Cm]time-honored resolution
Because the [Abmaj7]danger is always near
It's [Bb]with you now
But that ain't how it was sup[G7sus]posed to be [G/B]

And it's [Cm]hard to believe after all these years
That it [Abmaj7]still gives you pain and it still brings tears
And you [Bb]feel like a fool, 'cause in spite all your rules
You've got a [F]memory

[CHORUS]
But you [G]can't talk [Am]about it
'Cause you're [F]following a code of si[G]lence
You're never gonna lose the an[Am]ger
You just [F]deal with it in a different [G]way

But you [G/B]can't talk a[C]bout it [C/E]
And [F]isn't that a kind of mad[G]ness
To be living by a [G/B]code of si[C]lence
When you've [F]really got a lot to [F(2)/A]say

[Repeat and fade]
[Am] [G/B] [C]
[Am] [Bb2] [G]
[Am] [G/B] [C]
[C] [F(2)/A]
