E
Everybody calls me the quiet one
         D                 A
you can see but you can't hear me
E
Everybody calls me the quiet one
          C                   A
you can try buy you can't get near me
         E
I ain't never ever had the gift of the gab,
         D             C   D
but I can talk with my eyes
E
When words fail me you won't nail me,
   D                  A
my eyes can tell you lies

Chorus:
F                 C
Still waters run deep.
       G                D
So be careful I don't drown you
F                       G
You've got nothing to hear
                     A  Bm    Adim A
I've got nothing to say
F                      C
Sticks and stones may break your bones
     G               D
but names can never down you
F                  G                  A  Bm  Adim A
It only takes two words to blow you away.

Everybody calls me the quiet one
But you just don't understand
You can listen you won't hear me
With your head stuck in the sand
I ain't never had time for words that don't rhyme
My head is in a cloud
I ain't quiet - everybody else is too loud
