[Verse 1]
F#m D E F#m
Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
D E F#m
A tide that is taking me under
F#m D E F#m
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
D E
My voice drowned out in the thunder
[Pre-Chorus]
D
But I won't cry
A/C# F#m
And I won't start to crumble
D C#
Whenever they try to shut me or cut me down
[Chorus]
F#m
I won't be silenced
D E
You can't keep me quiet
C#m D
Won't tremble when you try it
Bm C#m F#m D E
All I know is I won't go speechless
F#m D E
'Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me
C#m7 D
Don't you underestimate me
Bm C#m F#m
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
[Verse 2]
F#m D E F#m
Written in stone every rule every word
D E F#m
Centuries old and unbending
F#m D E D
Stay in your place better seen and not heard
D E
Well now that story's ending
[Pre-Chorus]
D A/C# F#m
Cause I, I cannot start to crumble
D C#
So come on and try, try to shut me cut me down
[Chorus]
F#m
I won't be silent
D E
You can't keep me quiet
C#m D
Won't tremble when you try it
Bm C#m F#m D E
All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
F#m D E
Let the storm in, I cannot be broken
C#m7 D
No, I won't leave unspoken
Bm C#m F#m D E
Cause I know that I won't go speechless
[Bridge]
D E
Try to lock me in this cage
A E F#m
I won't just lay me down and die
D Bm
I will take these broken wings
E
And watch me burn across the sky
C#
Hear the echo saying
[Chorus]
F#m D
I won't be silenced
E C#m D
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
Bm C#m F#m
All I know is I won't go speechless
D E
Speechless!
F#m D E
'Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me
C#m D
Don't you underestimate me
Bm C#m D
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Bm
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless!
