F          
  You pray for quiet,

  Inside you head the screams won’t silence;
                    G      F
  I remember those days...

  The terror past our home; the fear that’s in your bones,
                    D            F
  It just won’t go away... NO...

                                        A
  The strangle holds, the insulting names,
                                                                        F
  The world of shit around his fist; the nose to nose beer stinking breath.
                                                          A
  Thrown down onto the floor, so battered, bruised and sore
                            C                                           F
  Choke down on the truth of it, and touch it until you break your neck


[Chorus]

                      D                         A
  Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
                           G                                F
  This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay.
                     D                  A
  The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
                           G                             F
  The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
                       D                                     D
  Just be still and praaayyy... and let the noise just fade away.


[Verse 2]

F
  Retain to violence;

  Atop your heart like a secret closet,
                      G        F
  So no one can penetrate...

  You just can’t stand the touch; affection weighs too much,
                       D              F
  You push everyone awayyyyyy from...

                                 A
  The reckoning! The bitter stings,
                                                                    F
  Whipped so bad I pissed myself; still with a beating stub held belt
                                                               A
  If this reminds you of home, you better know you’re not alone
                           C                                  F
  Hold the gun up to my head, I'll pull the trigger on myself!!!


[Chorus]

                      D                         A
  Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
                           G                                 F
  This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay.
                      D                  A
  The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
                            G                              F
  The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
                      D
  Just be still and praaayyy


[Bridge]

D#                 F              G
  These are the memories... In me
                         A                          D#
  You didn’t want to know! You didn’t want to know!
                   F             G
  These are the memories we keep
                       F                        C
  We don’t want to show! We don’t want to show!
                                           F
  By no you need to know, you’re not alone


[Outro]

                  D               A
  Hush is all I need, hush the misery;
                  G                             F
  Hush belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
                       D                         A
  Hell’s where I was born! Hell’s where I was raised,
                          G                                 F
  This hell is where I’m from and this hell is where I’ll stay
                     D                    A
  The hush is all I need, to hush the misery;
                           G                             F
  The hush that belongs to me, like the hush inside of dreams
                       D                                      D         F
  Just be still and praaayyy... and let the noise just fade away...
