Verse 1: 
      Eb5           Ab5        Eb5    Ab5 
      Oh, don't it hurt deep inside 
              Eb5         Bb5         Eb5    Bb5 
      To see someone do something to her 
      Eb5            Ab5          Eb5     Ab5 
      Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry 
            Eb5             Bb5       Eb5 
      Oh, especially when someone is her 
 
Chorus: 
       Eb5         G5    F5        Bb5         Eb5 
      Silence is golden,   but my eyes still see 
       Eb5         G5      C5 
      Silence is golden, golden 
      F5      Bb5        Eb5 
      But my eyes still see 
 
Verse 2: 
 
      Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep 

      Even though there is nowhere to go 

      How could she tell, he deceived her so well 

      Pity, she'll be the last one to know

Verse 3: 
       E5         A5             E5            A5 
      How many times will she fall for his line 
       E5                    B5            E5     B5 
      Should I tell her or should I keep cool? 
       E5        A5             E5           A5 
      And if I tried, I know she'd say I lied 
       E5                         B5            E5 
      Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool
