Verse 1: 
      Eb           Ab        Eb    Ab 
      Oh, don't it hurt deep inside 
              Eb         Bb7         Eb    Bb7 
      To see someone do something to her 
      Eb            Ab          Eb     Ab 
      Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry 
            Eb             Bb7       Eb 
      Oh, especially when someone is her 
 
Chorus: 
       Eb         Gm    Fm        Bb         Eb 
      Silence is golden,   but my eyes still see 
       Eb         Gm      Cm 
      Silence is golden, golden 
      Fm      Bb        Eb 
      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: 
       E         A             E            A 
      How many times will she fall for his line 
       E                    B7            E     B7 
      Should I tell her or should I keep cool? 
       E        A             E           A 
      And if I tried, I know she'd say I lied 
       E                         B7            E 
      Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool
