It has some amazing lyrics. These are the chords for Keith's original version. To play Alison's version, tune down 1/2 step and substitute E for G, B for D, and A for C. Intro: G - D - C - D (twice) Verse 1: G D C D G D C D It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart G D C D G D C D Without saying a word, you can light up the dark C D Try as I may I could never explain G D C D What I hear when you don't say a thing Chorus: G D C D The smile on your face let's me know that you need me G D C D There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me G D C D C D The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall C D G D C D You say it best when you say nothing at all Verse 2: All alone I can hear people talking outloud But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd Old Mr. Webster could never define What's being said between your heart and mine (Chorus twice) -- J.T. Carter ae878@yfn.ysu.edu "Women...you can't live without 'em, and they can't pee standing up."
