                A#m
I still got your t shirt
   G#
At home
                 F#
From when everybody
       C#
Stayed over
       A#m
In the summer
         G#
Now it’s cold
       F#                  C#
And I still wanna let you know

          A#m
I always found you
             G#
Through the crowd
             F#
But I never told you
     C#
Out loud
   A#m                    G#
To everyone else I could speak
                    F#        C#
But with you I was tongue tied

Chorus:
A#m                        F#
You will always spark the light
          C#        G#
Spark the light in me
A#m                     F#      C# G#
You will always mess me up the best
            A#m
You knew my name
              F/A                 E/G#              D#/G
All of your friends knew what I felt was not pretend
              F#
My heart was see-through
             G#
I wanted to hold you
             A#m    G# F# C#
But I never told you

A#m G# F# C#
Silent love
A#m G# F# C#
Silent love

I guess that you made it, and left town
'Cause I never see you around
Now I'm walking solo, I'm so low
To the places we used to go

Chorus:
You will always spark the light
Spark the light in me
You will always mess me up the best
You steal all my nights, all my nights from me
You knew my name
All of your friends knew what I felt was not pretend
My heart was see-through
I wanted to hold you
But I never told you

Silent love
It's a silent love
Silent love
Silent love

C#                         F#         A#m      G#
You will always spark the light, the light in me
C#                      F#      A#m G#
You will always mess me up the best

Chorus:
You will always spark the light
Spark the light in me
You will always fuck me up the best
You steal all my nights, all of my nights from me
You knew my name
All of your friends knew what I felt was not pretend
My heart was see-through
I wanted to hold you
But I never told you

Silent love
It's a silent love
Silent love
It's a silent love

Silent love
It's a silent love
