Chords for Billy Joel - Code of Silence (Audio) ft. Cyndi Lauper

_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] Everybody's got a million questions
[Ab] Everybody wants to [Eb] know the score
[F] But you went through something [Gm] you should be over now
[C] Everybody wants to hear the secrets
[Ab] That you never told us all before
[Bb] And it's not that strange
Cause it wouldn't [Gm] change what happened anyhow
[G] _ [C] But you swore to yourself a long time [Ab] ago
There were some things that people never needed to [Bb] know
Guess there's one that you keep
That you bury slowly [F] and no one can turn out
[G] And you can't [Am] talk about it
[F] Cause you're following a [G] code of silence
You never thought [Am] I'd lose the anger
[F] Just feel a little [G] different way
And you [C] can't talk about [F] it
And isn't that a [G] kind of madness
To be living by a [C] code of silence
[F] You really got a lot to say
[C] You don't want to [Cm] lose a friendship
[Ab] There's nothing that you have to hide
[Bb] And a little jerk couldn't [Gm] hurt no one anyway
_ [C] You still have a rage inside you
[Ab] That you carry with a certain pride
[Bb] And the only part of a broken [Gm] heart
That you could ever [G] say
[C] But the man through it wants to know how it [Ab] is
You don't see the point of going through it [Bb] again
And this ain't the face and this ain't the [F] time
And neither's any other day
[G] So you can't [Am] talk about it
[F] Cause you're following a [G] code of silence
You never thought [Am] I'd lose the anger
[F] Just feel a little [G] different way
So you can't [C] talk about it
And isn't that a [G] kind of madness
To be living by a [C] code of silence
[F] You really got a [Am] lot to say _
[Eb] I know you [Fm] well enough to tell [Bb] you got your reasons
[Eb] That's not the kind of code you're [Bb] inclined to break _ _
[Eb] Some things are [C] known and best left [Gm] alone forever _ _
[Ab] And if a vow is what it takes
[F] Have it paid for your _ _ mistakes
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] After the moment passes
[Ab] And the impulse disappears
[Bb] You can still hold back
Cause you don't crack [Gm] very easily
It's [C] a time on a resolution
[Ab] Cause the danger is always near
[Bb] It's with you now
But that ain't how [Gm] it was supposed to [G] be
You've _ [C] got to believe after all these [Ab] years
Still get your pain and it still bleeds through
[Bb] And you feel like a fool
Cause as far as you're blue, [F] she's got a memory
_ [G] So you can't [Am] talk about it
[F] Cause you're following a [G] code of silence
You never thought I'd [Am] lose the anger
[F] Just feel a little different [G] way
But you can't [C] talk about it
[F] And isn't that a [G] kind of madness
To be living by a [C] code of silence
[F] You really gotta love to say _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
[Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
[Bb] I've [F] been bad
