It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart,
D A G5 A D A G5 A
without saying a word you can light up the dark.

Try as I may I could never explain
D A G5 A A A A
what I hear when you don't say a thing.
[Chorus]
D A G5 A
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me.
D A G5 A
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me.
D A G5 A G/B A/C#
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall.
G A
You say it best, when you say nothing at [Instrumental] all.

what's been said between your heart and mine.

This is a good tab of a great song. Use the same cords and capo the 5th fret for the Ronan Keating version which is played with a lovely and simple fingerstyle. In the Keating recording, hammer on the E string when switching from A to D and pluck the B then E string just before changing from the A to G. You can also dress it up by adding a pull off the E string here and there when switching from D to A
