INTRO: Gmaj7  Cmaj7  G/B  G  G/B  Dsus4  G/B 

G            Cadd9          G 
I met her sadly in the slowly fallin' rain
G             Cadd9          G 
Cryin' softly in her loneliness and pain
C               D              G/B  G  G/B  Dsus4  G/B 
Knowin' no one, needin' someone bad as me

G            Cadd9              G 
And she told me as I held her tremblin' hand
G                 Cadd9         G 
Walkin' slowly, how she'd never known a man
C             D              G/B  G  G/B  Dsus4  G/B 
Livin' lonely in her cottage by the sea


CHORUS:
C                D                    G 
When the mornin' came her tears had changed to laughter
C                  D                   G 
And before the night her heart beat close to mine
C                  D               G       G/F#    Em 
And I thought as she lay sleepin' of the secrets she was keepin'
C         C/B    Am             D              G/B   G  G/B  Dsus4  G/B 
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind

G            Cadd9            G 
In the mornin' as I wakened with the dawn
G               Cadd9             G 
Without warnin' I could feel that she was gone
C               D               G/B  G  G/B  Dsus4  G/B 
Leavin' nothin' but her silence next to me

G                 Cadd9           G 
And lonely footprints that I followed in the sand
G             Cadd9                 G 
Walkin' slowly, for I knew where they would end
C               D              G/B  G  G/B  Dsus4  G/B 
Disappearin' in the silence of the sea


CHORUS:
C                  D             G 
And I sometimes hear the echoes of her laughter
C                 D               G 
As I search for what I know I'll never find
C            D               G      G/F#        Em 
'Cause the answer I was seekin' was the secret she's still keepin'
C         C/B    Am             D              G/B   G   G/B  Dsus4  G/B 
Hidden somewhere in the silence of the shadows of her mind
