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.

INTRO:
Am, D, G11, Gmaj
VERSE:
Am
She's cutting out the bruises
F Gmaj Am
Forgetting her excuses for being here again
F C Gmaj Am
With a suitcase packed and waiting by the door
In her head
F Gmaj
Convinced herself she hasn't lost
Am
Enough to quit
F Am
But tonight she lays here thinking
PRE-CHORUS:
Gmaj F
What if I just left
G11 Gmaj Em F
In the middle of the night
Gmaj Gmaj
Back to California
G11 (Just bottom 3 strings)
And never look back
CHORUS:
Am F
She'll fantasize about it
Gmaj G F
Every single day but she can't find it
G Am
In her heart to run away
C
And no one's listening
Am F
With Northern Massachusetts
C G
On his knees to stay
He's begging
F G Am
"Please, oh baby please, I can explain
F G
It won't happen agaaaaaain"
VERSE:
Am
He's putting out the fires
F C
And he's making her believe
Gmaj Am
He's really changed
This time
F Gmaj Am
But it's obvious it's just another line
Lapse and relapse
F C Gmaj
And again she lays beside him thinking:
PRE-CHORUS:
F Gmaj G11 Gmaj Em F
I'll pretend in the middle of the night
Gmaj Gmaj
My eyes are closed I'm sleeping
G11 (Just bottom 3 strings)
But I won't come back
CHORUS:
Am F
She'll fantasize about it
Gmaj G F
Every single day but she can't find it
G Am
In her heart to run away
C
And no one's listening
Am F
With Northern Massachusetts
C G
On his knees to stay
He's begging
F G Am
"Please, oh baby please, I can explain
Am Gmaj
It won't happen agaaaaaain
F Gmaj
It won't happen again
BRIDGE:
Am
How long can this last?
G#m#5
The final straw was the hospital
F
At least she told herself that
Gmaj
But she just can't find the strength to end it!
PRE-CHORUS:
F Gmaj
I just left
G11 Gmaj Em F
In the middle of the night
Gmaj Gmaj
Back to California
G11 (Just bottom 3 strings)
I'll never look back
FINAL CHORUS:
