D / Em/E / D / G
(Verse 1)
D / Em/E / D / G
He left the blocks, the city’s cry,
D / Em/E / D / G
The piss, the trash, the concrete sky.
D / Em/E / D / G
He chased a dream of something new,
D / Em/E / D / G
A place where boredom wouldn’t chew.
(Chorus)
Bm / A / G / G
But boredom sat beside him still,
Bm / A / G / G
It rode the wind, it climbed the hill.
A / G / Bm / Bm
He ran from steel, escaped the noise,
A / G / F # / F #
But silence doesn’t bring you joy.
(Verse 2)
D / Em/E / D / G
Black boots, a kiss, no words to trust,
He disappeared in a cloud of dust.
The road was wide, the sun was bright,
He thought he'd leave the grey behind.
(Chorus)
Bm / A / G / G
But boredom sat beside him still,
Bm / A / G / G
It rode the wind, it climbed the hill.
A / G / Bm / Bm
He ran from steel, escaped the noise,
A / G / F # / F #
But silence doesn’t bring you joy.
(Verse 3)
He searched for more, for peace, for light,
But all he found was quieter night.
The world had changed, the man had not—
The emptiness was all he brought.
(Chorus)
Bm / A / G / G
But boredom sat beside him still,
Bm / A / G / G
It rode the wind, it climbed the hill.
A / G / Bm / Bm
He ran from steel, escaped the noise,
A / G / F # / F #
But silence doesn’t bring you joy.
