Tone gốc: F#m
Intro:
[F#m] [Abdim] [A] x2
Verse1:
[F#m] Here comes a [D] wave
meant to [E] wash me [F#m] away
A [D] tide that is [E] taking me [F#m] under
[F#m] Swallowing sand,[D]
left with [E] nothing to [F#m] say
My [D] voice drowned out in the [Esus4] [E] thunder.
Pre-chorus:
But I won't [D] cry
And I won't start to [C#m] crumble
Whenever they [D] try
To shut me or cut me [C#7sus4] down [C#7]
Chorus:
I won't be [F#m] silenced
[D] You can't keep me [E] quiet
Won't [C#m] tremble when you [D] try it
All I [Bm7] know is I [C#m7] won't go [F#m] speechless[D]-[E]
'Cause [F#m] I'll breathe
When [D] they try to suffocate [E] me
Don't you [C#m7] underestimate [D] me
'Cause I [Bm7] know that I [C#m7] won't go [F#m] speechless.
Verse2:
[F#m] Written in [D] stone
Every [E] rule, every [F#m] word
[D] Centuries [E] old and [F#m] unbending
[F#m] "Stay in your [D] place"
"Better [E] seen and not [F#m] heard"
But [D] now that story is [E] ending.
Pre-chorus:
'Cause [D] I
I cannot start to [C#m] crumble
So come on and [D] try
Try to shut me and cut me [C#7sus4]down[C#7]
Chorus:
I won't be [F#m] silenced
[D] You can't keep me [E] quiet
Won't [C#m7] tremble when you [D] try it
All I [Bm7] know is I [C#m7]
won't go [F#m] speechless,[D]speechless[E]
Let the [F#m] storm in
[D]I cannot be [E] broken
No, [C#m7] I won't live unspoken [D]
'Cause I [Bm7] know that I [C#m7] won't go speechless.[F#m]
Bridge:
Try to [D] lock me in this [E] cage
I won't just [A] lay me down and [F#m] die
I will [D] take these broken wings
And watch me [Esus4] burn across the [E] sky
Hear the [Dm] echo saying:
Chorus:
I won't be [F#m] silenced [D]
Though [E] you wanna see me
[C#m7] tremble when you [D] try it
All I [Bm7] know is I [C#m7] won't go [F#m]speechless,[D]speechless[E]
'Cause [F#m] I'll breathe
When [D] they try to suffocate [E] me
Don't you [C#m7] underestimate [D] me
'Cause I [Bm7] know that I [C#m7] won't go [D] speechless.
All [Bm7] I know is I [C#m7] won't go
[Bm7] speechless, speechless.
