Belle And Sebastian — Nothing In The Silence Chords
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.
