When Silence is the Only Sound

Appears on: The Infamous Stringdusters

Capo 4th

Intro C G

He sits in the [F] dark
[C] Double scotch in his [G] hand
Considering [F] why
[Am] It didn't turn out like he [G] planned

Stuck at work late at [F] night
[C] She's gone again before the [G] light
She blames the [F] bills
[Am] She just won't tell him how she [G] feels

Chorus:
Unconscious of uncommon [F] ground
The walls of pride can't be knocked down
When silence is the only sound

Break

He'll tried to tempt her with his smile
But giving in is not her style
His pain is worse with time
Why can?t he say what?s on his mind?

Comfort finds the face
Another man to take his place
Will she go down that road
The saddest story ever told

Chorus

Break

He sits in the dark
