 D          D2/F#       G       G(type2)       D    D2/F#  G  G(type2)
Down by the water, we tested our hearts for a ride
 D          D2/F#   G           G(type2)     D   D2/F#  G   G(type2)
Spinning so fast, neither could  ever   say why

 Em        D2/F#          G         D2/F#
Baby, you  know I've been so hard to hold but I'm, 
 Em   D2/F#   G
Fine, fine, fine 
 Em    D2/F#     G          A11
Nobody told  me silence is golden

    D          D2/F#        G          G(type2)       D   D2/F#  G   G(type2)
I think I could run  but I know that I  never  could hide
     D            D2/F#        G          G(type2)    D   D2/F#  G   G(type2)
The love that she gives me is deep as the  ocean  is wide

 Em        D2/F#          G         D2/F#
Baby, you  know I've been so hard to hold but I'm, 
 Em   D2/F#   G
Fine, fine, fine 
 Em    D2/F#     G          A11
Nobody told  me silence is golden

D    D2/F#    G     G(type2)


Em               A
Live and learn, time is my friend
D             D2/C#      G
What kind of comfort is that?
           Em                      A
It's been four hundred days and I don't understand
         Em          D2/F#       G
Why you left and you never came back
         Em          D2/F#       G     G(type2)
Why you left and you never came back

[Instrumental: one verse]

Baby, you know I've been so hard to hold but I'm
Fine, fine, fine
Nobody told me silence is golden

All that I have I would give just to see her again
With love in her eyes for me now like she had for me then

 Em        D2/F#          G         D2/F#
Baby, you  know I've been so hard to hold but I'm, 
 Em   D2/F#   G
Fine, fine, fine 
 Em    D2/F#     G          A11   D  D2/F#  G   G(type2)
Nobody told  me silence is golden,              Silence  is

  D    D2/F#     G   G(type2)   D   D2/F#   G   G(type2)
Golden                                          Silence is

  D    D2/F#     G   G(type2)   A11     Em/A   D
Golden                         000000  002000
