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 [Cadd9->Cmaj7Cadd9->Cmaj7Em7->EmG] Blame it on the weather But I'm a mess And this February darkness, has me hating everyone And I know I need your comfort, but this drama makes me sick And the longer I lay here, I know it's harder to get up without you
Prechorus [CAmEmG] Lose another day here Lose another year here 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
(Prechorus)
Chorus [CAmCEm->G] You are the fire, on my apartment floor Sixteen stories, I'd rather burn then fall It isn't fate, that took us all by storm It's just the turn of a card
(Chorus CHORDS ONLY)
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)
[AmEmFG] Goodbye, old friend Goodbye, goodnight
[EmDCC] I'll move on You'll call it fate, I'll call it karma We had our time, it was fun While it lasted I'll look back, with honor, and no regrets I won't be mad, won't feel bad These memories will never leave me Don't be sad Cause life goes on, life goes on It's getting too late Tomorrow is here
