                 G
I met her in the summertime
         F     G
When her arms
                   C        G
Were the colour of silence
            F     G
So blue her eyes
        C       G  F
A new horizon


     G                F
So I walked that way
      G                  F
And I talked that way, too
    G          F        G
I found my way through
       C        G
To her silence
  C        G
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
       C        G
To her silence
           F   G
Whoa-oh-oh-oh


   C                 G
My heart was full of bitterness
   F     G
So dark
                C         G
And so close to violence
           F       
The ace of spades
       G            F
Turned upside down


        G                   F
Nothing beat in my hopeless chest
        G              F
I could not detect a sound
        G                   F    
But she would not let me rest
G           C       G
Bound to my silence
  C        G
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
            C       G
Bound to my silence
           F   G
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Am  Em  F  Em  Am  G  F  Em  


 C             G
Our love came unexpectedly
            F     G
Late to the bill
           C         G
An added attraction
             F     
The way it goes
    G        F
The way it stays


          G          F
And when she is far away
G                F
Still I feel her here
      G                  F    
Every since she made the day
        G             F       G
And the lonely man disappear
          C        G
Into that silence
  C        G
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
          C        G
Into that silence
           F  G
Whoa-oh-oh-oh oh


[Outro]
C    G       F      G
Ohh, ohh, oh-oh, oh-oh
C    G       F      G   C
Ohh, ohh, oh-oh, oh-oh
