[intro]

 Am… F

        Am F



Am            F            G        Am

Have comes a wave meant to wash me away

  F            G         Am

A tide that is taking me under

Am         F              G          Am

Swallowing sand left with nothing to say

   F                        G

My voice drowned out in the thunder



            F

But i won't cry

                     C     Am

And i won't start to crumble

              F

Whenever they try

                    E

To shut me or cut me down



[chorus]


             Am

  i won't be silenced

  F                 G

  you can't keep me quiet

        Em               F

  won't tremble when you try it

        Dm        Em       Am        F G

  all i know is i won't go speechless



         Am

  'cause all breathe

       F                G

  when they try to suffocate me

            Em       F

  don't you underestimate me

         Dm            Em       Am

  'cause i know that i won't go speechless



Am         F           G          Am

Written in stone every rule every word

F         G         Am

Centuries old and unbending

Am            F

"stay in your place"

        G            Am

"better seen and not heard"

    F                 G

But now that story is ending



       F

'cause i

                     C     Am

I cannot to start to crumble

               F

So come on and try

                          E

Try to shut me and cut me down



[chorus]


             Am

  i won't be silenced

  F                 G

  you can't keep me quiet

        Em               F

  won't tremble when you try it

        Dm        Em        Am   

  all i know is i won't go speechless

  F       G

          Am

  let the storm in

  F           G

  i cannot be broken

      Em             F

           Dm          Em       Am

  'cause i know that i won't go speechless

           

       F               G

Try to lock me in this cage

             C     G/B      Am

I won't just lay me down and die

       F                 Dm

I will take these broken wings

             G

And watch me burn across the sky

        F    E

Hear the echo saying



[chorus]


             Am      

  i won't be silenced

  F          G

  -- thought you wanna see me

  Em               F

  all i know is i won't go speechless

    F      G

         Am

  'cause all breathe

       F                G

  when they try to suffocate me

            Em       F

  don't you underestimate me

           Dm          Em       F

  'cause i know that i won't go speechless
