G                 E            Am7                 C     
I thought I heard a sigh, as you waved the world goodbye, 
          B                                 (A) E
While the snow lies o'er the meadows like a shroud. 

         Am7   G      C  Bm     Am7      D              C  G     (F#)
And it's so    quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud. 

   G               E
So different yesterday, 
         Am7                C
When you laughed the night away,
    B                                   (A) E
Who knew that all the time you were too proud. 

         Am7   G      C  Bm     Am7      D              C  G
And it's so    quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud.

So crusading, much too true, 
Em7                      E         A
Not a cause that was too small for you. 
Dm           A
So romantic, too naïve, 
Bbmaj7            C         C#dim
Not a kind enough breath to breathe. 

G                  E               Am7        C
So when I think of you, I think of violet and blue, 
            B                                   (A) E
And all the things that make you stand out in a crowd. 

         Am7   G      C  Bm     Am7      D              C  G
But it's so    quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud. 

G   E  Am7 C
Wooah, oooh, 
B         (A) E
Mmmm, aaaaaaah. 

Rpt Bridge: 

     G                 E
Your pleasure and your light, 
      Am7          C
Was a never-ending fight, 
        B                           E/G#
Just to find the silver lining in a cloud. 

         Am7   G      C  Bm     Am7      D              C  G
And it's so    quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud.
         Am7   G      C  Bm     Am7      D              C  G
Yes it's so    quiet, so quiet, even the silence is too loud.
