Belle and Sebastian – Nothing In The Silence (Ukulele)

F#m                      Bm
Something set me thinking,

E                A
When i opened up my eyes

               Bm               E       
That there was nothing there to tell me

         Bm           E
I'd been listening to lies.

          F#m                Bm
But in silence there is truth

            E              A    
There is beauty, there is love

             Bm                E
There is nothing in the silence

          F#m
To be frightened of.

F#m                     
Her retreat and so few words

         E
Is the last thing you'd expect.

            Bm
But there's danger in assuming

           E
That she's being direct.

       Bm
Take a look behind her eyes

             E
And you will see.

               Bm
That she knows nothing of silence

E                F#m    
Silence can only come from me.

F#m             Bm
Allow me then a little time

     E             A
To listen to their voices.

         Bm          E
It's the glamour and confusion,

         Bm               E
It's the rattling and the noises.

     F#m                    Bm
That obscure the truth, the beauty

        E
And the love.

          Bm           E
And their clarity that silence

       F#m
Is the guardian of.

              F#m
She talks of clarity and silence

   E
Of beauty and of truth.

     Bm
But search her heart for evidence

E       
Search herself for proof.

       Bm
Take a look behind her eyes

             E
And you will see.

               Bm
That she knows nothing of silence

E                F#m
Silence can only come from me.
