[Verse 1]
Em G
We sat beneath the stars
D A
At a fire and played our new guitars
Em G D Bm
And I wondered how long this was gonna last
Em G
Because picture perfect memories
D A
Just come with all those tougher things
Em G D Bm
And pains the best reminder of our past
[Verse 2]
Em G
I watched the meteors fall
D A
On a world that hardly cared at all
Em G D Bm
Leaving silver trails of dust across the sky
Em G
Of indigo blue that matched my mood
D A
And with constellations for tattoos
Em G D D
And I watched them fade away and quickly die
[Chorus]
Bm G D
So many theories wrong and soon disproved
Bm G D
So many ideas lost among the feud
Bm G D Em
So many conversations that are sadly misconstrued
G A
And lost among debate and needless violence
We need the silence
[Instrumental]
Em G D A
Em G D Bm
[Verse 3]
Em G
We walked in a haunted place
D A
With tattered walls and empty space
Em G D Bm
And a musty smell that drenched the nighttime air
Em G
Neither of us said a word
D A
And we waited till we heard the birds
Em G D
And we realized not once had we ever been scared
[Chorus]
Bm G D
So many theories wrong and soon disproved
Bm G D
So many ideas lost among the feud
Bm G D Em
So many conversations that are sadly misconstrued
G A
And lost among debate and needless violence
We need the silence
[Instrumental]
Em G D A
Em G D Bm
[Verse 4]
Em G
I saw my grandpas mind
D A
Fly away and leave some bits behind
Em G D Bm
That made him smile each time that they appeared
Em G
I wonder if he feels the pain
D A
But it seems he never will complain
Em G D
Whenever his whole family is near
[Chorus]
Bm G D
So many theories wrong and soon disproved
Bm G D
So many ideas lost among the feud
Bm G D Em
So many conversations that are sadly misconstrued
G A
And lost among debate and needless violence
We need the silence
[Outro]
Em G D A
Em G D Bm
