Verse

C           G          F      C
Australian man, Scandinavian tan
                            G
Kickin' stones 'round the square
C               C7         F              Fm
He sat for a while, and he carved out a smile
C       G           C
As if someone would care

C                                 G                         F             C
He said "I'm a long way from the Gold Coast, the furtherest I've ever been
C                       G
And this just ain't my home
C                   C7              F         Fm
It was my wife's idea, but she's no longer here
C            G          C
She left me travelling alone"

Chorus

F                         C        C    F
You know I've never heard silence
F                C      C    F
Ring out like a bell
F                      C
I ain't never heard silence
      G
Like last night in my expensive hotel


F                      C       C    F
You see I'm loving a shadow
F                    C       C   F
Trying to catch the rain
F            C
I've never silence
G                  C
'till I heard it today


Verse

C                    G               F                C
She came out of the hotel, I could still smell the smoke
C                         G
Of a burning heart left inside
C                             C7       F             Fm
She said "men are all ass-holes, and love's a bad joke"
C                     G            C  G
She laughed and then started to cry

          C                   G           F           C
She said "ten years with this man, and a lifetime of plans
C                             G
You know I loved him to his bones
              C           C7             F            Fm
But know I've lines on my skin, and he's traded me in
C          G          C
He left me travelling alone"



C    F


Chorus

F                        C        C    F
You know I've never felt silence
F                      C      C    F
Well it hit me like a train
F                C
I've never felt silence
     G
Like blood, coursing through my veins

F                       C      C    F
You see I'm loving a shadow
F                            C     C    F
And I'm trying to catch the rain
F                 C         G
I've never felt silence
G                C
Like I felt it today
F                 C        G
I've never heard silence
                  C
'till I heard it today
