When You Say Nothing At All
Keith Whitley
Capo 1 (Recorded in D#)

Intro: D-A-G-A
       D-A-G-A-D 

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
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

Instrumental: (D-A-G-A)-(D-A-G-A-D) 

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

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  A-G-A
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

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
Now you say it best, when you say nothing at all

Outro: (A-G-A-D)-(A-G-A-D)
