C#         E       B(f#)C#
most are hurt by truth
               A
suffer in silence
                 B
persuaded by the rules

C#             E   B  C#
nature has no defense
        B                 F#
for a wrong word spoken in innocence

A       B    C#     E  B   C#
bide your time
A
form your truth
                     B
silence is the best defense
                      C#
i will defend you
 
C#
Holding down the fort, Spreading your wings
                        G#
In a locked up cage somewhere
                                     F#
Test my fear, call my bluff
                C#
Call your love

Seekers want to know
The rythms of the world and how it flows
Where does dust come from
Beyond the Strange and the Charmed
Lies an ocean still unknown

Bite your tongue
Truth once said aloud can never be undone

I hurt you with the truth:
Maybe you're not as pretty as you think
You just look pretty in a dress
so they will give you a chance and pretend to be impressed
Will you ever warm up
Will you ever learn the rythm
You're off-key again and you think it's a requiem
[Chorus]
