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.

     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.
