Verse 

C             G          D                     G 
I’ve often wondered how love would strike me dead  
          C            G      C           D     G 
Would it hit me like thunder that’s what I’d expect 
           C         G              D                    G 
But when I held you, I knew it was different from the start 
C               G            C       D      G 
No words were spoken, but I felt it in my heart 

          C           G        D           G  
It was softer than a whisper quiet as the moon 
             C               G  Em     C         D       G 
But I could hear it loud as laughter  ’cross a crowded room 
          C         G                   D              Em 
It was gentle as a baby’s hand, but it held me like a chain 
         C            G  Em        C          D       G 
It was softer than a whisper when love called out my name

Verse 

      C             G               D                 G 
Last night you lay sleepin’ when I thought I heard a sound 
      C       G      C      D     G 
I got up and slowly took a look around 
        C        G          D            G 
Well I found no answer no sound I could explain 
              C         G          C        D      G 
It must have been your heart dear; calling out my name 

        C            G        D           G   
It was softer than a whisper quiet as the moon 
             C              G    Em   C        D       G 
But I could hear it loud as laughter ‘cross a crowded room 
        C           G                   D              Em 
It was gentle as a baby’s hand, but it held me like a chain 
        C            G  Em        C           D       G 
It was softer than a whisper when love called out my name 
        C            G  Em         C           D      G 
It was softer than a whisper when love called out my name
