Suffer In Silence
Susan Ashton

vamp:
 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?

Chorus:
	                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

VAMP

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

CHORUS
