WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL    Keith Whitley

Eb                   Ab         Bb          Eb    Eb Ab Bb  
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Eb                Ab           Bb           Eb    Eb Ab Bb 
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Ab                    Bb
Try as I may I could never explain
Eb                    Ab           Bb
What I hear when you don't say a thing

CHORUS:
      Eb                         Ab           Bb
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
Eb                                          Ab    Bb  
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
    Eb           Bb                 Ab                  Bb   Ab Bb
A touch of your hand says you can catch me if I ever I fall
Ab                     Bb                     Eb 
Yea, you say it best, when you say nothing at all


Eb                  Ab            Bb        Eb    Eb Ab Bb
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
Eb            Ab               Bb            Eb     Eb Ab Bb
But when you hold me near you drown out the crowd
Ab                      Bb
Old Mr. Webster could never define
Eb                               Ab       Bb
What's being said between your heart and mine

Chorus, lead,chorus
