 F               C
Side by side in silence
      Am             G
They pass away the day
    F               C
So comfortable, so habitual
       Dm                 F
And so nothing left to say

Chorus:
         G         Am A# C Dm C
Nothing left to say
C           F
Nothing left to say

Side by side in silence
His thoughts echo round
He looks up at the sky
She looks down at the ground

Chorus:
She looks down at the ground
She looks down at the ground

Side by side in silence
They wish for different worlds
She dreams him as a boy
And he loves her as a girl

Loves her as a girl
And side by side in silence
Without a single word
It's the loudest sound

Chorus:
It's the loudest sound
It's the loudest sound I ever heard
