Silent Partners

Tom: E

             E
        He stands in the doorway,his hands upon his hips

        She stands by the jukebox,a sweet smile on her lips

        He slowly walks up to her,she reaches out for him

        It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them
                 B
        Then he says...
                 A
        And she says...


Chorus:
          E
        Silent partners,they don't say a word

        She is the adjective and he is the verb
               A
        They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
                              B                            A
        They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies
                   E
        Silent partners

        Silent partners


Verse 2:
            E
        Later in their love-nest at half-past ecstasy

        They cling to each other and lie there silently

        She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart

        And he would like to bare his soul

        But don't know where to start
               B
        So he says...
                 A
        And she says...
