The Silence Between Us chords by Bob Mould

Intro: Em   A    F#    A

Em         A                F#
There were trails of fallen trees
         A
Deciduous and weeding marsh
Em          A                           F#
The lowland birds and crickets roared
        D  A       Em
The final sound of fall
Em        A             F#
Along the banks of the river
    A
We approached the footbridge
Em     A      F#
Entering the wilderness
F#        D       A
Following my footstep

C#  E       B   A             C#
The silence between us is the time
E     B    A           C#    E
When I can't hear the thoughts
E          B       A
Thoughts on your mind,
G# A
yeah

E          A                 F#
Beyond the panic and worried that
         A                   Em
Seems to consume most every thought
Em           A               F#
There lies a calm and steady hand
     D       A         Em
That someday you might see
Em          A             F#
Perhaps it isn't what you wanted
   A                       Em
Or even what you're looking for
Em           A
But once you see the symmetry
F#       D       A
Once you see the you and me


C#     E        B       A
Winter lovers, we're so nervous
    C#    E      B     A
The words will disappear
C#     E           B       A
What thoughts are on your mind,
G#  A
yeah

F#                            A         E
You park the car outside the Holiday Inn
F#                          A           E
We cross the highway single-file
F#                        A             E
And you were walking in a hurry
F#                            A         E
And there was me without water with a smile
Yeah!

solo


C#     E        B       A
Winter lovers, we're so nervous
    C#    E      B     A
The words will disappear
C#     E           B       A
What thoughts are on your mind,
G#  A
yeah

G#            A
On your mind, yeah
G#            A
On your mind, yeah
G#            A
On your mind, yeah
