The Paper Kites – A Silent Cause (Guitar)

G                       Am
I heard that you're moving away

D                G           Am        D   Am
Fumbled in my pockets for a final word

C                          G
And I tell you 'Don't be late'

G                                       
Smile when you tell me you won’t

G             Am        
Shuffle your feet and you don't

D               G                 Am    D   Am
Want to read between the air of silence

C                G
Then the rain begins

D
I don't want to love you

                 C
I want to learn you

                          G
But I'd love to know you well

G                 Am
So long to your family home

     D              G              Am          D   Am
I wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back?

       C     G
Your family home

G
Covered my eyes with your hands

G                  Am
Walked me through all of your plans

D                   G
I told you I could see it all

    Am                D   Am
But all I saw was you

              C              G
Through the space in your fingers 

D
I don't want to love you

                 C
I want to learn you

                          G
But I'd love to know you well

G                 Am
You say all the people you know

D                G           Am          D   Am
All are slowly dying from a silent cause

             C         G
From their quiet desperations

G
I walk you home in the rain

G             Am
Pass by the yellow line train

D                      G                
Thought that I was different 

           Am         D   Am
When you looked at me

           G
But this quiet desperation is 

   C        D
Killing me too

   C        G
Killing me too

D
And I don't want to love you

                 C
I want to learn you

                          G
But I'd love to know you well
