[Verso 1]


     E                     A                     E 
I am practicing silence so i might hear your voice ring out 
     E                 A                                   E 
I am practicing silence cause you don’t wanna hear what i’m on about 
F#m                A                        E 
Truth be told, i’m practicing silence cause i’m proud 
    F#m                 A                        E 
And i don’t want you to know how i been spinning out

F#m A E 


[Verso 2]


      E                       A                          E 
Maybe we had to call it cause your heart was always with her 
      E                       A                    E 
Maybe we had to call it cause i made too much of a mess for either to endure 
F#m               A                              E 
Truth be told, we called it cause it just wasn’t right 
    F#m              A                     E 
And i wish i’d never held onto you so damn tight

[Verso 3]


      E                       A                E 
I’m reminded our love was like driving west at sunset 
            E                         A                        E 
Through the finding, the binding, the pain and the beauty, the bitter weight of my regret 
F#m                 A                        E 
Truth be told, some days i still drink to forget 
     F#m           A                     E 
That i am the only one who ain’t over it yet

[Verso 4]


          E                             A               E 
I’m still practicing silence, but these days i’m on the mend 
          E                          A                 E 
I’m still practicing silence, though there was a time i called you my dearest friend 
F#m                      A                        E 
Truth be told, i’m still practicing silence to be free 
           F#m                          A                          E 
Though i’d still like to know what your life has been like without me

Time passed so fast and you’re long gone 
E 
I’ve lost my dowsing rod 
E 
But i’m still carrying on looking for water 
E 
Looking for water 
E 
Looking for water 
E 
Looking for water
