If No One Will Listen

Tom: C

Verse:
C            G                 Am
Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
F            G                    C
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
F               Em                   Am         G      F
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul
       D                                   G
Do you think there's enough that you would drown?


Chorus:
                F
If no one will listen
   G             C  
If you decide to speak
                Am        G               F
If no one's left standing after the bombs explode
                   C
If no one wants to look at you
    Em              Am G D
For what you really are
              F
I will be here still


Verse 2(same as verse 1)
No one can tell you where you alone must go
There's no telling what you will find there
And, God, I know the fear that eats away at your bones
It's screaming every step, "Just stay here"


Chorus

then F G C   Am G F

Bridge
C                          G                Am
If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
F                       G             C
If your legs have given out under the weight
F           Em                         Am    G  F
If you find you've been settling for a world of gray
                                         G
So you wouldn't have to face down your own hate
