(G)what’s what I hear when you (C)don’t say a thing.

The (G)smile on your face lets me (D)know that you need me.

There’s a (G)truth in your eyes say ing (C)you’ll nev er (D)leave me.

A (G)touch of your hand says you’ll (C)catch me if ev er I (D)fall.

Now (C)you say it best

when you say noth ing at (G)all.

All day (D)long I can hear peo ple (D)talk ing out loud,

but when (D)you hold me near you can (D)drown out the (G)crowd.

The (G)smile on your face lets me (D)know that you need me.

There’s a (G)truth in your eyes say ing (C)you’ll nev er (D)leave me.

A (G)touch of your hand says you’ll (C)catch me if ev er I (D)fall.

Now (C)you say it best
