Full Lyrics with Chords (Capo on 5th Fret)

[Intro]  
G Em C D

[Verse 1]  
G                 Em  
One look, dark room  
C              D  
Meant just for you  
G               Em  
Time moved too fast  
C               D  
You play it back  
G              Em  
Buttons on a coat  
C              D  
Light-hearted joke  
G                Em  
No proof, not much  
C              D  
But you saw enough

[Verse 2]  
G              Em  
Small talk, he drives  
C             D  
Coffee at midnight  
G             Em  
The light reflects  
C               D  
The chain on your neck  
G            Em  
He says, "Look up"  
C              D  
And your shoulders brush  
G              Em  
No proof, one touch  
C             D  
But you felt enough

[Chorus]  
Em                     C  
You can hear it in the silence, silence, you  
G                       D  
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you  
Em                     C  
You can see it with the lights out, lights out  
G             D  
You are in love, true love  
G             D  
You are in love

[Verse 3]  
G               Em  
Morning, his place  
C             D  
Burnt toast, Sunday  
G               Em  
You keep his shirt  
C             D  
He keeps his word  
G               Em  
And for once, you let go  
C                D  
Of your fears and your ghosts  
G               Em  
One step, not much  
C               D  
But it said enough

[Verse 4]  
G              Em  
You kiss on sidewalks  
C              D  
You fight and you talk  
G             Em  
One night he wakes  
C             D  
Strange look on his face  
G             Em  
Pauses, then says  
C            D  
You're my best friend  
G               Em  
And you knew what it was  
C            D  
He is in love

[Chorus Repeat]  
Em                     C  
You can hear it in the silence, silence, you  
G                       D  
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you  
Em                     C  
You can see it with the lights out, lights out  
G             D  
You are in love, true love  
G             D  
You are in love

[Bridge]  
Em                C  
And so it goes  
G                      D  
You two are dancing in a snow globe, 'round and 'round  
Em                          C  
And he keeps the picture of you in his office downtown  
G                               D  
And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars  
Em                   C  
And why I've spent my whole life tryin' to put it into words

[Final Chorus]  
Em                     C  
'Cause you can hear it in the silence  
G                       D  
You can feel it on the way home  
Em                     C  
You can see it with the lights out  
G             D  
You are in love, true love  
G             D  
You are in love

[Outro]  
Em                     C  
You can hear it in the silence, silence, you  
G                       D  
You can feel it on the way home, way home, you  
Em                     C  
You can see it with the lights out, lights out  
G             D  
You are in love, true love  
G             D  
You are in love
