  			D     A      G                 A           D       A, G, A 
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart  
D       A        G             A            D     A, G, A 
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark  
G                    A 
Try as I may I could never explain  
D      A             G           A       A 
What I hear when you don't say a thing. 

 
D                 A             G             A 
The smile on your face let's me know that you need me 
D                  A         G             A 
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me  
D                 A                G                  A     G, A 
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall 
G               A                       D   A, G,  A 
You say it best when you say nothing at all  


Verse 2:  
D       A          G           A           D       A, G,  A 
All day long I can hear people talking out loud 
D        A           G         A             D        A, G, A 
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd 
G                     A 
Old Mr. Webster could never define  
D             A            G             A           A 
What's being said between your heart and mine 

Chorus: Repeat
