Silent Majority

Nickelback


Tom: Dm

Am                        C
How could this affect my life?
 C                       F
How could I affect the outcome?
                      Dm
So why even try; for what, for what, for what, for what?
Am                      C
A coward can save the day
                              F
When the bravest of men just stand by
                            Dm
So easy to say; so what, so what, so what?

[Chorus]
Am
So what if we all stand up?
            C
What if we don't give in?
           F
What if we trade it all?
                   Dm
Complacency for a voice that won't be ignored
            Am
How can we just give up?
            C
How can we just give in?
             F                       Dm
What if the silent majority wasn't silent anymore?

[Verse 2]
Am                          C
A candle's the smallest light
                         F
But a handful becomes a lighthouse
                      Dm
Cutting the night for us, for us, for us, for us
Am                        C                         F
The one with the loudest voice is really the one to follow
                   Dm
Silence the noise; so what, so what, so what?

[Chorus]
Am
So what if we all stand up?
            C
What if we don't give in?
           F
What if we trade it all?
                   Dm
Complacency for a voice that won't be ignored
            Am
How can we just give up?
            C
How can we just give in?
             F                       Dm
What if the silent majority wasn't silent anymore?

[Bridge]
Am                        F
Hurry up, the world needs this
           Dm
Speak up now or we can pick up the pieces
Am                    F
Hurry up, the world needs this
          Dm
Speak up now or we can pick up the pieces
Am                         F
Hurry up, the world needs this
         Dm
Speak up now or we can pick up the pieces
Am
What if we, what if we, what if we...

[Chorus]
Am
So what if we all stand up?
            C
What if we don't give in?
           F
What if we trade it all?
                   Dm
Complacency for a voice that won't be ignored
            Am
How can we just give up?
            C
How can we just give in?
             F                       Dm
What if the silent majority wasn't silent anymore?

[Outro]
Am                    C
Hurry up, the world needs this
F                    Dm
Hurry up, the world needs this (the world needs this)
A
The world needs this
The world needs this
The world needs this
The world needs this
