[Verse 1]
G              Eb G Eb              D         Eb  D  Eb
You're thin ice…    I should be on solid ground
         G        Eb G  Eb            D           Eb  D
An oh so quiet vice…  I can hear that cracking sound
    Cm                     Ab
But I remain, despite your deadly aim
                 Bb                         D
To drive another lad insane, when you won't speak my name

[Chorus 1]
Bb                                    Ab                           Cm
You kill me with silence, that's your style girl you're letting me know
Bb                               Ab                     G
This deafening silence the only reason that you're in control
Bb                                Ab                         Cm
It's emotional violence, I can't breathe now but I can't let go
Bb
You kill me with silence

G  Eb  G  Eb

[Verse 2]
G                               D
True to life things are hotting up in here
      G                            D
If I had a knife you could cut the atmosphere
Cm                          Bb
Something else, I like this bed of nails
              Ab                             D
That's what I tell myself - couldn't be much worse in Hell

[Chorus 2]
Bb                                    Ab                           Cm
You kill me with silence, that's your style girl you're letting me know
Bb                               Ab                     G
This deafening silence the only reason that you're in control
Bb                                Ab                         Cm
It's emotional violence, I can't breathe now but I can't let go
Bb                        Ab
You kill me with silence

[Outro]
Bb  Ab  G

Bb  Ab  G
        … you kill me with silence

Bb  Ab  G
        … kill me with silence
