[Verse 1]
Em             C             D        Em
Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
   C           D           Em
A tide that is taking me under
Em           C               D           Em
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
     C                       D
My voice drowned out in the thunder


[Pre-Chorus]
              C
But I won't cry
                      G   Em
And I won't start to crumble
                C
Whenever they try
                      B7
To shut me or cut me down


[Chorus]
            Em
I won't be silenced
C                  D
You can't keep me quiet
       G                 C
Won't tremble when you try it
        Am          Bm    Em        C D
All I know is I won't go speechless
       Em
'Cause I'll breathe
      C                D
When they try to suffocate me
           Bm  G   C
Don't you underestimate me
            Am          Bm      Em
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless


[Verse 2]
Em           C
Written in stone
       D          Em
Every rule, every word
C            D       Em
Centuries old and unbending
Em                C
"Stay in your place
        D             Em
Better seen and not heard"
     C                 G  D
Well now that story is ending


[Pre-Chorus]
       C
'Cause I
                     G     Em
I cannot start to crumble
                 C
So come on and try
                          B7
Try to shut me and cut me down


[Chorus]
             Em
I won't be silenced
C                   D
You can't keep me quiet
        Bm               C
Won't tremble when you try it
         Am         Bm     Em           C      D
All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
         Em
Let the storm in
C             D
I cannot be broken
    Bm                C
No, I won't live unspoken
             Am          Bm      Em
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless


[Bridge]
       C                D
Try to lock me in this cage
             G         D       Em
I won't just lay me down and die
        C                  Am
I will take these broken wings
               D
And watch me burn across the sky
          B7
Hear the echo saying:


[Chorus]
            Em      C
I won't be silenced
       D                   Bm             C
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it
         Am        Bm     Em             C       D
All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
        Em
'Cause I'll breathe
       C              D
When they try to suffocate me
            Bm       C
Don't you underestimate me
            Am          Bm      C
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
                           Am
All I know is I won't go speechless, speechless
