Biography:
Silverstein is a 5-piece post-hardcore band from Burlington, Ontario, Canada; formed in 2000. The band name was taken from the famous children's author Shel Silverstein.
After several lineup changes, the band acquired Billy Hamilton, a local fan who learned of the band's need for a bassist on the Internet message board "The 905 Board" (an Ontario area outreach board which used to be for local musicians). In Christmas of 2001, he joined the band after Shane Told helped him learn the music for the songs.

[Verse 1]
Bb Dm
A ring in a box but not your dream
C Bb
It's not a diamond, it's aquamarine
Dm
Your shocking look of self defeat
C Bb
So desperate
Dm
I think of the place where you fooled me
C Bb
Beside the tarmac you never came clean
Dm
I'm driving past the gruesome scene
C Bb Dm C Bb
I'll never forget this
Dm Bb
I told you I wished that I was dead
F
My eyes wouldn't open up again
Dm Bb C
I can't believe I wasn't joking
Dm Bb
Salt and lime I taste
F Dm
The sickest thoughts I can't erase
Bb C Bb
These images won't stop provoking
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
You know you could
I wish you would
[Chorus]
Dm C F
Fall on your knees and remove the sorrow
Return the piece of my heart you borrowed
Bb
Things you used to say
F
Could take the pain away
Dm C F
But now you're gone and we're falling faster
We're forgetting things that we used to master
Bb
Games we used to play
A Dm C Bb F
Could take the pain away
[Verse 2]
Dm Bb
You packed your shit and went ahead
F
My mind and my soul were left for dead
Dm Bb C
I can't believe you weren't joking
Dm Bb
Sweat rolls down my face
F
My bloody knuckles mark the stains
Dm Bb C Bb
My throat is closing up, I'm choking
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
You know you could
(You know you could)
Bb
I wish you would
(I wish you would)
[Chorus]
Dm C F
Fall on your knees and remove the sorrow
Return the piece of my heart you borrowed
Bb
Things you used to say
F
Could take the pain away
Dm C F
But now you're gone and we're falling faster
We're forgetting things that we used to master
Bb
Games we used to play
A Dm C Bb F
Could take the pain away
[Bridge]
Dm
Same bed, we take no precautions
C Bb
Emotions, regrets and revenge
The last step in killing the karma
F
It makes sense from where we've been
Dm
The same car same songs same motions
Bb
We hold hands, relive how we met
Bb
But no talk, no reconciliation
This train's already left
Dm
Did you think next April
You'd be even further away
Bb
Did you keep him faithful
How many nights did you lay awake
Dm
And even six years later
The dialogue, it stays the same
Bb
You're 2000 miles away
Betrayers never change
[Verse 3]
Bb
A ring in a box but not from me
Dm7 C Bb
It's still no diamond, it's aquamarine
Dm
You'll never find your place of peace
C Bb
You'll always regret this
[Chorus]
Dm C F
Fall on your knees and remove the sorrow
Return the piece of my heart you borrowed
Bb
Things you used to say
F
Could take the pain away
