I listened to an old friend describe the girl he'd met
  G                   C     F              C
In memory I could see her heartbreak in Silhouette
  C                   G      F              C
He said her hair was golden her eyes were violet
  G                  C     F             C
It surely had to be her hearbreak in Silhouette
  C                       G      F                    C       
He said that when he kissed her her kisses were like wine
  G               C       G              F            G
And suddenly I wondered if she'd break his heart like mine
  C                  G         F               C
But I sat there in silence and smoked my cigarette
  G                    C          F             C
His heart would soon discover heartbreak in Silhouette
  C                     G      F                   C
With shining eyes he told me about the night they'd met
  G                     C       F               C
My own heart kept remembering heartbreak in Silhouette
  C                      G      F             C
Outside the rain kept falling recalling old regrets
  G                     C         F             C
Then she stood in the doorway heartbreak in Silhouette
  C                     G    F                    C
At first she didn't see us because the lights were dim
  G                        C      G              F      G
As she chatted with her new love she had eyes for only him
  C                            G       F                   C
My friend sat that there in silence and not one word was said
  G                       C       F              C         F
Two broken hearts were sharing heartbreak in Silhouette heartbreak in
