Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

 I've never been the one to shout because I listen

 I don't like to raise my voice

 But maybe I should learn to lose my inhibitions

 And let my feelings make some noise

 'Cos you don't know what I'm going through

 When silence is all I give to you

 So hear me, if you're out there

 Take these words, and try to understand

 That I want you and I need you

 To take the hand of a quiet man...

 I love the way you hear the words unspoken

 It's like you read between the minds.

 You know before the silence has been broken

 ...well at least most of the time

 But I don't know what you're going through

 It must be something I didn't say to you

 So hear me if you're out there

 Take these words and try to understand

 That I want you and I need you

 To take the hand of a quiet man

 Of a quiet man.
