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

Chorus:
      G             D            C            D
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
            G            D           C
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
 D
leave me
     G             D                C
The touch of your hand says you'll catch
                 D  Em D/F#
me where ever I fall
C               D                        G  D C D
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may they could never define
What's been said between your heart and mine

Chorus:
The smile on your face lets me know that you
need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll
catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, you say it best,
when you say nothing at all

Oh, the smile on your face lets me know that
you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never
leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll
catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, you say it best,
when you say nothing at all

You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all
That smile on your face
The truth in your eyes, the touch of your hand
Let's me know that you need me
You say it best when you say nothing at all
You say it best when you say nothing at all
