G E Am7 C
I thought I heard a sigh, as you waved the world goodbye,
B (A) E
While the snow lies o'er the meadows like a shroud.
Am7 G C Bm Am7 D C G (F#)
And it's so quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud.
G E
So different yesterday,
Am7 C
When you laughed the night away,
B (A) E
Who knew that all the time you were too proud.
Am7 G C Bm Am7 D C G
And it's so quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud.
Bridge:
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
So crusading, much too true,
Em7 E A
Not a cause that was too small for you.
Dm A
So romantic, too naïve,
Bbmaj7 C C#dim
Not a kind enough breath to breathe.
G E Am7 C
So when I think of you, I think of violet and blue,
B (A) E
And all the things that make you stand out in a crowd.
Am7 G C Bm Am7 D C G
But it's so quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud.
G E Am7 C
Wooah, oooh,
B (A) E
Mmmm, aaaaaaah.
Rpt Bridge:
G E
Your pleasure and your light,
Am7 C
Was a never-ending fight,
B E/G#
Just to find the silver lining in a cloud.
Am7 G C Bm Am7 D C G
And it's so quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud.
Am7 G C Bm Am7 D C G
Yes it's so quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud.
