G  D  C  D   x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G        D        Cadd9        D           G      D   Cadd9   D
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
G         D      Cadd9          D           G      D   Cadd9   D
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Cadd9                D
Try as I may, I can never explain
G      D             Cadd9        D
What I hear when you don't say a thing
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     G             D            Cadd9         D
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
          G              D           Cadd9       D
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    G       D                      Cadd9                  D       Em  D/F#
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
Cadd9             D                       G   D   Cadd9   D
You say it best,  when you say nothing at all

[Verse 2]
 
G       D          Cadd9       D           G      D   Cadd9   D
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
Em       Bm          Cadd9     D              G      D   Cadd9   D
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Cadd9                     D
Try as they may, they can never define
G             D           Cadd9         D
What's been said between your heart and mine
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G              D            Cadd9         D
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
          G              D           Cadd9       D
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    G              D               Cadd9                 D        Em  D/F#
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
Cadd9            D                        (E)
You say it best,  when you say nothing at all
 
 
[Interlude]

[Chorus]

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
          G              D           Cadd9                Cadd9
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me

It would be nicer when you would have put the chords on the whole text. This is way harder to play for some people and it's kinda lazy from you.

it sound decent even if cadd9 was replaced by C

Thanks brow
