In The Quiet

Intro
C Em E C G Em 



E                          C 
I watched the sun go down behind your leaving eyes 
Em                          E         C      G       C 
  You said some doors stay closed no matter how you try 
           E     C                      C 
I saved our old messages looking for a sign 
     D                                   C 
But silence writes the clearest kind of goodbye 
                          C        G 
Your shadow lingers softly in the hallway light 
                                  C 
The chair you used still leans a little to the right 
G Em                      C           G 
    I hung the songs you played when things felt bright 
     D                                  C 
And leave the porch light almost every night 


           G 
I'm still here 

I'm still breathing 
        D 
In the silence 

I found meaning 
          Em 
You walked  out 

I stayed behind 
 C 
Built a fire from what you left behind 



G 
 Oh I'm still here 
       D 
Still believe 
        A 
In the quiet 
     C 
I'm still singing 
   Em                 C         G 
I find my old guitar beneath a coat of dust 
Em                             C   G 
  The strings still ring with memory and rust 
Em                       C      G 
  I played a chord that broke me into trust 
      D                                 C 
That not all love needs mirrors or the fuss 


           G 
I'm still here still alive 
D 
 You let go 
Em 
   I held the line 
        C 
Made a home from all you left behind 
 G                        D 
Yes I'm still here still believing 
        A 
In the quiet 
   C 
I keep singing 



     D 
And maybe that's the song 
          Em 
I had to write 
                            C 
A slow return from endless night 
                            G 
Where even echoes learn to breathe 

And empty rooms still sing to me 
D 


D            G 
  I'm still here still 

I'm breathing 
         D 
And the quiet hope keeps gleaming 
         Em 
You moved  on 

I made it mine 
            C 
Turned the cracks into a new design 
 G                       D         Am 
Oh I'm still here still believing quiet 
   C 
I keep dreaming
