 The bridge is the only thing I am not 100% sure of!
 
 A                                                     
 The silence is deafening, it??s drowning out the truth
     G             D                  A        
 And killing every good thing that we try to do
 A                                                  
 It??s so polite ??round here, it??s hiding any fear
      G             D              E                     
 That we don??t talk about, we gotta shake that demon out
 
 Chorus:
 G           A      
 Tired of pretending
      G             D                   A   
 That everything is gonna work out just fine
 G           A      
 Tired of pretending
      G                 D                     A   
 That no one??s gonna get hurt if we just stand by
               G       G/F# 
 While we??re descending
             G      G/F# 
 Tired of pretending
 
 It??s an amazing thing, all the lies you tell
 They don??t do anything but help you fool yourself
 Starting today I??m done, I??m through holding onto some
 Dark secret that we keep, I??ve bitten my tongue until it bleeds
 
 Repeat Chorus
 
 (Bridge)
   G                  G/F#              
 A house of cards is just like this home
          G/F                                     E A   
 With the flick of a finger the whole damn thing??s gone
 
 Chorus
