Silhouette
from: Truth From Lies
(a) (asus2) (a) (asus2)
(aadd9) you watch me (amaj9) at the window
(a6) from your place on the couch (a)
(aadd9) you watch me pre- (amaj9) tending
That i am (a6) really looking out (a)
(d) you say: "come (a) here,
I can't see (esus) you in this light" (f#m)
But (d) i'm much (a) safer
Be- (esus) side the moon tonight (aadd9)
'cause when (asus2) i am a silhouette
(d) i have no fear (d a)
I can (d) love you from here (d a/e)
When (asus2) i am a silhouette
I can give (d) myself to you, (d a)
And you (d) never see through
(d) nev- (a/e) er (a) through (asus2) (a) (asus2)
(aadd9) don't come (amaj9) too close
Or you'll see (a6) my edge is rough (a)
(aadd9) and you'll make me (amaj9) wonder
(a6) if i will be enough (a)
(d) you'll make me wor- (a) ry
That (esus) somehow you will see (f#m)
That there is (d) always (a) something
(esus) small and trembling in (aadd9) me
But when (asus2) i am a silhouette
(d) i have no fear, (d a)
I can (d) love you from here (d a/e)
When (asus2) i am a silhouette
I can give (d) myself to you, (d a)
And you (d) never see through
(d) nev- (a/e) er (a) through (asus2) (a)

(aadd9) no place to hide in your (amaj9) single bed
(a6) no look of mine that you (a) haven't read
(aadd9) i've always been an (amaj9) easy read
Just (a6) once i want to be a (a) mystery
(d) so though you tell (a) me
That (esus) it will be alright (f#m)
