When The Words Go Away

Bb

[Verse]
Eb               Bb
The snow's coming faster,
Eb                Bb
my view around the bend
 Eb         Bb                   F
A beautiful valley tucked into a glen
             Eb                    Gm
Can barely be seen, but where is the wind?
            F                        Eb       Bb    Eb
Where is the noise? Where are voices again?

             Bb          Eb
Locked in a capsule
                Bb     Eb
for time without end
             Bb                      F
Watching the world through a pane or a lens
                   Eb                       Gm
There's nothing to fear when there's nobody near
                F                           Eb
But silence can kill and there's lots of it here

[Chorus]

Ab           Eb                     Gm                  F
We decided to part, each make a new start, but I didn't know
Ab                    Eb
What you take when you go
        Gm                      F
Now I'm beholden to silence not golden
                   Eb                    Bb
There's nothing to say when the words go away

[Verse]
 Eb          Bb
Embraced isolation
Eb         Bb        Eb
is never a choice
               Bb                      F
I long for the comfort I get from your voice
              Eb                           Gm
The vacuum of sound that you leave when you go
                 F                      Eb
Is spreading the silence around us like snow

[Chorus]

Ab           Eb                     Gm                  F
We decided to part, each make a new start, but I didn't know
Ab                    Eb
What you take when you go
        Gm                      F
Now I'm beholden to silence not golden
                   Eb                    Bb
There's nothing to say when the words go away

Eb                Bb
When the words go away
Eb                Bb
When the words go away
Eb                Bb
When the words go away
Eb                Bb
When the words go away
