Silence Is King Chords & Lyrics - Melanie Safka

INTRO: [Am] [Dm7] [Dm] [Am] [Dm7] [Dm] [Am]

She tests every [Dm7]word like a [Dm]fine [Am]wine [Dm7] [Dm] [Am]
She holds every [Dm7]thought like her [Dm]last [Am]dime [Dm7] [Dm] [C]
You could hear a [G]pin drop from [Dm]miles a[Am]way [C]
You could hear a [G]heart stop, as [Bm]plain as [E]day

[CHORUS]
We [F]live in a [C]land where [G]silence is [Dm]king
[F]Whispers have [C]all disap[G]peared
[F]Cry for an [C]echo, you [G]won't hear a [Dm7]thing
[F]Silence is [Dm7]king around [Am]here
[F]Silence is [Dm7]king around [Am]here [Dm7] [Dm] [Am] [Dm7] [Dm] [Am]

Where are the [Dm7]dreams we were [Dm]aft[Am]er? [Dm7] [Dm] [Am]
Where is the [Dm7]joy and the [Dm]laugh[Am]ter? [Dm7] [Dm] [C]
Were they only [G]habits, we were [Dm]doomed to [Am]lose [C]
Or is [G]destiny not [Bm]ours to [E]choose?

[CHORUS]
We [F]live in a [C]land where [G]silence is [Dm]king
[F]Whispers have [C]all disap[G]peared
[F]Cry for an [C]echo, you [G]won't hear a [Dm7]thing
[F]Silence is [Dm7]king around [Am]here
[F] [Dm7] [Am] [G] -[C]
Silence is king around here

[BRIDGE]
[G] [Dm] [Am] [Am] -[G] -[C]
Desperate measures come from desperate times
[G] [Am] [G] -[C]
I don't regret what I have done
If my [G]actions make you[Dm] speak your [Am]mind
[A#]Angry words are better than [D]none

CHORUS: (## 1ST three lines sung a Capella ##)
We [F]live in a [C]world where [G]silence is [Dm]king
[F]Whispers have [C]all disap[G]peared
[F]Cry for an [C]echo, you [G]won't hear a [Dm7]thing
[F]Silence is [Dm7]king around [Am]here
