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.

Cadd9 Blame it on the weather Em But I'm a mess Cadd9Cmaj7EmG And this February darkness has me hating everyone Cadd9Cmaj7EmG And I know I need your comfort but this drama makes me sick Cadd9Cmaj7EmG And the longer I lay here I know it's harder to get up without you
[Pre-chorus] [CEmCEmG]
CEm Lose another day here CEm Lose another year here G I'm with you
[Verse]
Find me something out there that's making sense And it's just another trend carefully hidden in your dress And the cycles neverending and the fashions overdone And the further that I run away the further I'll come back to shelter
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus] CEmG You are the fire on my apartment floor CEmG Sixteen stories I'd rather burn then fall CEmG It isn't fate that took us all by storm CEmG It's just the turn of a card
(Chorus) only chords!!!
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
EmD Goodbye old friend EmD Goodbye goodnight
Em, Em, Em
D I'll move on CC You'll call it fate I'll call it karma EmDC We had our time it was fun C While it lasted
Em, Em, Em
DCC I'll look back with honor and no regrets EmDC I won't be mad won't feel bad C These memories will never leave me EmD Don't be sad CC Cause life goes on life goes on EmD It's getting too late CEm, Em, Em Tomorrow is here
