G               D
A question well served,
    Em/C#          Cadd9   Csus4
'Is silence like a fever?'
G              D
'A voice never heard?'
      Em/C#             Cadd9    Csus4
'Or a message with no receiver?'

Em   Em9        C/A
Pray they won't ask
   Em11/A          Em   Em9
Behind the stained glass
Dadd11/C                D/C
There's always one more mask

G              D
Has man been a victim
       Em/C#         Cadd9   Csus4
of his woman, of his father?
G                   D
if he elects not to bother,
        Em/C#           Cadd9   Csus4
will he suffocate their faith?

Em   Em9     C/A
Desperate to fall
   Em11/A        Em   Em9
Behind the Great Wall
     Dadd11/C     D/C
That separates us all

E             F#m11/E
When there is reason
  Aadd9/E    Badd11/E
Tonight I'm Awake
E               F#m11/E
when there's no answer
Aadd9/E      Badd11/E  E   Eadd9  E
Arrive  the  Silent    Man
E           F#m11/E
If there is balance
  Aadd9/E    Badd11/E
tonight He's Awake
   E            F#m11/E
If they have to suffer
      Aaad9/E     Badd11/E  E  Eadd9 E
There  lies  the  Silent    Man

D       Bb/D      G/D     D*  
C/D     Gadd11    G/A     D/F#
Bbsus2  Csus4     C       G/D    
D*      C/D       Gadd11  G/A
G       D         Em/C#   Cadd9   Csus4

Em9           C/A  
Sin without deceivers
  Em11/A        Em      Em9
A God with no believers
        Daad11/C
I could sail by
       D/C
on the Winds of Silence
    Em               Cadd9
And maybe they won't notice
         D
But this time I think
        (D)
It'd be better if I swim

E             F#m11/E
When there is reason
  Aadd9/E    Badd11/E
Tonight I'm Awake
E               F#m11/E
when there's no answer
Aadd9/E      Badd11/E  E   Eadd9  E
Arrive  the  Silent    Man
E           F#m11/E
If there is balance
  Aadd9/E    Badd11/E
tonight He's Awake
   E            F#m11/E
If they have to suffer
      Aaad9/E     Badd11/E  E  Eadd9 E
There  lies  the  Silent    Man
