Capo on 1st fret
The Key is Eb

Intro: |D A|G A| 2x

D     A          G             A           D    A G A
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
D       A        G            A            D   A G A 
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
G                    A
Try as I may I could never explain
D      A              G          A
What I hear when you don't say a thing


Chorus:
    D             A            G             A
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
          D             A           G             A
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
  D             A                G                  A G A 
A touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
D   G                A                       D (Intro)
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Old Mister Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

Yes... I'm a beginner... the strumming pattern is confusing me... if anyone can help me... please do! Thanks -SexyAzNSwimmer \| 5/6/2005
If you listen to the song,the strumming pattern really isnt that difficult. Im 12 and I played this song at my cousins wedding,the groom sung it. The struming pattern is mostly fingerpicked, kind of like the intro. -travis_hall \| 6/30/2005
im having trouble hearing the pattern in the chorus, any help? -KnoxGodoy3 \| 9/16/2005
i think this is greatest song for a guy to play for his girl! .......... it worked for me -jaydaman \| 9/24/2005
as far as the strum pattern goes. It is in your basic eigth note (up and down strum) Aside from the country two beat feel your accent strum is on 1 and 3. Tap your foot to the song and you can figure out where you start counting 1-2-3-4 1-2-3-4 and so on. When struming put your accent down strum on 1 and 3. Let me know if this helps. -jtannillo \| 2/3/2006
