[Verse 1]
D       A          G5            A           D    A G5 A
  It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart,
D         A        G5           A            D   A G5 A
  without saying a word you can light up the dark.
G5                   A
Try as I may I could never explain
D        A             G5          A    A    A    A
  what I hear when you don't say a thing.

[Chorus]
    D             A            G5            A
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.
          D             A           G5           A
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.
    D             A                G5                 A      G/B  A/C#
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall.
G                A
You say it best,   when you say nothing at [Instrumental] all.

[Verse 2]
D         A          G5          A           D    A G5 A
  All day long I can hear people talking out loud,
D          A           G          A            D    A G5 A
  but when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd.
G5                       A
Old Mister Webster could never define
D             A            G5             A    A   
  what's been said between your heart and mine.

[Chorus]
    D             A            G5            A
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.
          D             A           G5           A
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.
    D             A                G5                 A       G/B  A/C#
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall.
G                A
You say it best,   when you say nothing at [Instrumental] all.

[Instrumental]
D         A         G5         A
D         A         G5         A
D         A         G5         G5
A         A         G          G

[Chorus]
    D             A            G5            A
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.
          D             A           G5           A
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.
    D             A                G5                 A      G/B  A/C#
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall.
G                A
You say it best,   when you say nothing at [Instrumental] all.
