Nothing In The Silence
By Belle & Sebastian

F#m                      Bm
Something set me thinking,
E                A
When i opened up my eyes
               Bm               E       
That there was nothing there to tell me
         Bm           E
I'd been listening to lies.

          F#m                Bm
But in silence there is truth
            E              A    
There is beauty, there is love
             Bm                E
There is nothing in the silence
          F#m
To be frightened of.

F#m                     
Her retreat and so few words
         E
Is the last thing you'd expect.
            Bm
But there's danger in assuming
           E
That she's being direct.
       Bm
Take a look behind her eyes
             E
And you will see.
               Bm
That she knows nothing of silence
E                F#m    
Silence can only come from me.

F#m             Bm
Allow me then a little time
     E             A
To listen to their voices.
         Bm          E
It's the glamour and confusion,
         Bm               E
It's the rattling and the noises.

     F#m                    Bm
That obscure the truth, the beauty
        E
And the love.
          Bm           E
And their clarity that silence
       F#m
Is the guardian of.

              F#m
She talks of clarity and silence
   E
Of beauty and of truth.
     Bm
But search her heart for evidence
E       
Search herself for proof.

       Bm
Take a look behind her eyes
             E
And you will see.
               Bm
That she knows nothing of silence
E                F#m
Silence can only come from me.
