Intro: D    G   Bm  A  G 

D 
With you by my side 

I felt like I'd arrived 
      G 
I was lost and found 
  D 
I feel kinda selfish 

And selfish is helpless 
  G 
I dragged you down 

   Bm 
We somehow delayed it 
  A                     G 
I played it so basic we fooled our crowd 
   Bm 
So nice on the surface 
    A 
But somehow we burnt it 
    G 
Now words don't mean a thing 

                  D 
You don't have to say nothing 
A            Bm 
Say nothing 
                      G 
Cos your eyes do the talking 
                  D 
You don't have to say nothing 
A            Bm 
Say nothing 
                      G 
Cos your eyes do the talking 


D 
I get home at half five 

We fight til the sunrise 
   G 
We won't back down 
    D 
The subjects worth hiding 

It's high stakes we're riding 
   G 
It all falls down 


Bm 
Twice strikes the lightning 
    A                       G 
The night had me high under its dark spell 
    Bm 
Now I fight back, you fight back 
Bm 
Won't wave your white flag 
    A 
Our words don't mean a thing 

          D 
Don't speak 

Don't speak no more 
G 
Cos your eyes do the talking 
          Bm 
Don't speak 
          A 
Don't speak no more 
G 
Cos your eyes do the talking 


                  D 
You don't have to say nothing

Say nothing 
                      G

Say nothing 
                        G 
Cos your eyes do the talking 



(Let's talk...) 
D 
We used to have our eggs sunny side up 
A 
But the fun dried up 
               Bm 
And now I feel like our times up 
                                  G 
I can see you wanna talk but your tongues tied up 

Gotta wise up 
          D 
Cant keep hiding, cant keep sliding 
          A 
Down that one way road to oblivion 
     Bm 
I've told you a million times where my heads at 
G 
But it's all arguments and who's winning em 
D 
Sometimes the right words don't surface 
A 
Shut up pretend it's all perfect 
Bm 
Brain short circuits so 
G 
I look in to your eyes and I don't feel worthless 
D 
What I said you know I never meant it 
A 
Like somebody keeps finishing my sentence 
Bm 
No more tears, no more lies 
G 
I know what you want when you say it with your eyes 

            D        A 
Oh oh oh ohhhhhh ohh 
            Bm       G 
Oh oh oh ohhhhhh ohh 
            D        A

Don't speak 

Don't speak no more 
G 
Cos your eyes do the talking 
          Bm 
Don't speak 
          A 
Don't speak no more 
G 
Cos your eyes do the talking 

                  D 
You don't have to say nothing 
A            Bm 
Say nothing 
                      G 
Cos your eyes do the talking

You don't have to say nothing 
A            Bm 
Say nothing 
                      G 
Cos your eyes do the talking 

            D        A 
Oh oh oh ohhhhhh ohh
