They ask me [C]what’s on my mind to[Em]night I just [Am]smile, say “nothing”, and look a[Em]way
But there’s a [F]quiet glow be[G]hind my [C]eyes [Am] A [Dm]secret I don’t know how to [G]say
It’s [F]funny how a simple [E7]word can [Am]hide A whole [Dm]world I [G]keep in[C]side
You are the [C]“nothing” when they ask me [E7]What I’ve been thinking of [Am]lately
The [Gm7]silence that I [C7]softly [F]keep But you’re [G]every thought that runs through [C]me
Yeah, you’re the [Dm7]answer [G7]I don’t [C]show The [E7]feeling they’ll never really [Am]know
I say “[Gm7]nothing” [C7]casual[F]ly But [G]you mean everything to [C]me
Verse 2
In crowded [C]rooms, in passing days Your face just [E7]dances in my head
In every [Am]pause, in every space It’s [Gm7]always [C7]you ins[F]tead
I try to play it cool, pre[Em]tend it’s [Am]light But [Dm]you’re the calm in every [G]night
You are the [C]“nothing” when they ask me [E7]What I’ve been thinking of [Am]lately
The [Gm7]silence that I [C7]softly [F]keep But you’re [G]every thought that runs through [C]me
Yeah, you’re the [Dm7]answer [G7]I don’t [C]show The [E7]feeling they’ll never really [Am]know
I say “[Gm7]nothing” [C7]casual[F]ly But [G]you mean everything to [C]me
Bridge
[F]If they could hear the way my heart speaks low [G]They’d find you in every soft shadow
In [Em]every breath, in every pause [Am]You’re the reason, [G]you’re the cause
You are the [C]“nothing” when they ask me [E7]What I’ve been thinking of [Am]lately
The [Gm7]silence that I [C7]softly [F]keep But you’re [G]every thought that runs through [C]me
Yeah, you’re the [Dm7]answer [G7]I don’t [C]show The [E7]feeling they’ll never really [Am]know
I say “[Gm7]nothing” [C7]casual[F]ly But [G]you mean everything to [C]me
