Suffer In Silence
Susan Ashton
E2 F#m/E E2 F#m/E E2 F#m/E E2
E2 F#m/E B7sus E2 F#m/E B7sus
Heart in a bottle, high on a shelf, fragile but just out of reach
E2 F#m/E B7sus
'Cause you build a fortress with the distance you keep
A2 E2
But when your heart aches, doesn't it cut deep?
A2 E2
Well, you don't have to suffer, suffer in silence
A2 E2
You don't have to suffer, suffer in silence
B
Don't you know that your heart can feel like an anchor
A2 B2 A/C#
When you keep it all inside
B/D# A/E F#m7 A2 E2
No don't, don't suffer in silence
Withered with sadness, hurting inside
But feeling afraid to impose
So you're an island, but you don't have to be
'Cause if you're inclined you can talk to me
But, you don't have to suffer, suffer in silence
You don't have to suffer, suffer in silence
Oh, I know that the pain can seem like an ocean but I'm just a word away
No don't, don't suffer in silence
A2 E2 A2 E2
B2 A2 B A/C# B/D# A/E F#m7 A2 E2
I'll be your shelter, I'll be your retreat
I'll be your shield against the wind
So, if you need a shoulder for the tears that you keep
Let it come down, let it rain on me
'Cause, you don't have to suffer, suffer in silence
You should never have to suffer, suffer in silence
Oh, I will hear when you're calling like a voice above the storm
No don't, don't suffer in silence
