Moment Of Silence

C#m

[Verse 1]
                        A                                        E
What if I told you that I didn't feel good enough and I'm broken
                                                                        C#m
What if I said that I'm losin' my faith and been struggling with coping

Been stuck for a while
       A                                        E
When I look at the clock man I feel like it's frozen

Then again time is just flying too quick

And I'm losing devotion
C#m
Truth is I feel no emotion
A
Bottled it up and all I feel is rage
E
  And I would be lying if I looked at you and said I'm not afraid
C#m
  What if I never get through this shit
A
What do I do if I can't find my way
E
  And I know that my father has been counting on me to carry our name
C#m
Speakin' of him and I got to be honest
A
  We ain't really speakin' these days
E
  I've been scared that I won't get to know him before the day he fades away
C#m                      A
  My family fought a lot when I was growin' up

What can I say?
E
(What can I say?)

What can I say?

By fightin', there ain't really nothin' to gain
C#m                                    A
  I know that the sun is out there somewhere

But I've been livin' in rain
E
  Can we quit playin' games
                                               C#m
I'm standin' right here and I'm ready to change
                      A                                      E
And mama I promise to give you the world if I make it to fame

Put you both on a stage and make it so everyone's screamin' your name



[Chorus]
     C#m               A          E
It's times like this I see your face
C#m             A            E
Wish you didn't leave this place
C#m               A        E
Searchin' for the reason why
          C#m          A         E
So take a moment of silence, goodbye



[Verse 2]
C#m
  Give me a second
  A
I wanna say something to my little brother
E
  When you get older, your father is not gonna be with your mother
C#m                      A
  I'm 23 years older than you, I know it's kinda confusing
E
  Forget all the bullies that make fun of you, it's just for their amusement
C#m
Let go of negative, seek out the light
A
Develop yourself, you should journal and write
E
Speak with integrity, treat women right

And you don't gotta drink every typical night
C#m                           A
  Being popular really ain't everythin'

Nah don't give into that hype
E
  And it's okay to forgive the people that hurt you

But don't give in twice
C#m
  And to each of my sisters
A                        E
  I know we been drifted, our parents divorced, We all moved away, and the family shifted
C#m
  Yeah we visit on Christmas
A
  But even the holidays' different
E
  Got to make something out of this gift that God has graciously gifted
C#m                                    A
  I know that the sun is out there somewhere

But I've been livin' in rain
E
  Can we quit playin' games
                                               C#m
I'm standin' right here and I'm ready to change
                      A                                      E
And mama I promise to give you the world if I make it to fame

Put you both on a stage and make it so everyone's screamin' your name

[Chorus]
     C#m               A          E
It's times like this I see your face
C#m             A            E
Wish you didn't leave this place
C#m               A        E
Searchin' for the reason why
          C#m          A         E
So take a moment of silence, goodbye

[Verse 3]
C#m
  Give me a second
         A
I owe an apology to a few people
E
  I regret a few things and I made some mistakes when I gave into evil
C#m                  A
  To all my exes I'm sorry I know I was often deceitful
E
  But after Veronica cheated, I gave up and didn't treat future girls equal
C#m                       A
  I'm sorry to all that I pushed away when I fell deep in depression
  E
I never gave enough attention to people I love so I just started ruinin' friendships
C#m                        A
  I guess that I taken the easy way out by rapping confessions
E
  This is a passion of mine and the only way that I can deal with my stresses
C#m                   A
  And I get emotional every time I stop and think about Taylor
E
  Still can't believe that you took your own life away just to get rid of these haters
C#m                               A
  I just hope that you found some peace and serenity in your decision
E
  No one knew what you were going through

Then again maybe we just didn't listen
C#m                                A
  To my granny, I wish that I said goodbye before the day that you left
E
  Not telling you how much I love you is something that I still regret
C#m                          A
  But I know you're in heaven and that it's all okay
E
  One day I'll be with you, and all my fans will be screamin' my name
