A Silent Cause

	  		
Intro: 



C                   Dm 
I heard that you're moving away 
G             F             G     Dm    Em    Dm 
Fumbled in my pockets for a final word 
      F                   C 
And I tell you 'Don't be late' 

C              F           C     
Smile when you tell me you wont 
C            F            Dm 
Shuffle your feet and you don't 
G               F               G    Dm    Em    Dm 
Want to read between the air of silence 
F                 C 
Then the rain begins 

Dm 
I don't want to love you 
           F 
I want to learn you 
                          C 
But I'd love to know you well 


C               Dm 
So long to your family home 
  G                F             G       Dm    Em    Dm       
I wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back? 
     F       C 
Your family home 

C          F              C 
Covered my eyes with your hands 
C                 F           Dm 
Walked me through all of your plans 
  G                F 
I told you I could see it all 
    G             Dm    Em    Dm 
But all I saw was you 
            F             C 
Through the space in your fingers  

Dm 
I don't want to love you 
           F 
I want to learn you 
                          C 
But I'd love to know you well 

C               Dm 
You say all the people you know 
G              F            G      Dm    Em    Dm 
All are slowly dying from a silent cause 
           F           C 
From their quiet desperation 

C          F           C 
I walk you home in the rain 
C           F           Dm 
Pass by the yellow line train 
G                  F                  G         Dm    Em    Dm 
Thought that I was different when you looked at me 
         F           C                   G 
But this quiet desperation is killing me too 
           C 
Killing me too 

Dm 
I don't want to love you 
           F 
I want to learn you 
                          C 
But I'd love to know you well
