    What I hear when you don't say a thing

     

    Chorus:

               G                D                    Cadd9           D                    

    The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

                      G                     D              Cadd9         D                    

    There's a truth in your eyes, saying you'll never leave me

               G                   D                        Cadd9 (1)       D (1)   C  D

    The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall

    All day long I can hear people talking out loud

    Em            Bm                Cadd9             D                 G  D  Cadd9  D

    But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd

     

    Prechorus 2:

    C (1)                                      D (1)

    Try as they may they can never define
