Even In The Quietest Moments

Words & Music:

Supertramp

 

G/D(7)    D(5)    D7(5)    G(3)/D    D7(5)    G/D(3

 

Even in the quietest moments I wish I knew what I had to do.

And even though the sun shining -- well, I feel the rain.

                     Gm6/D

Here it comes again, dear.

Am/G              D9/F#        Am               D9

And even when you showed me my heart was out of tune

                Dm                         Am                      C(add9)/D    D

Well, there's a shadow of doubt that's not letting me find you too soon.

    Am/G           D9/F#        Am             D9

The music that you gave me, the language of my soul.

            Dm                             Am                      C(add9)/D    D

Oh, Lord, I want to be with you, won't you let me come in from the cold?

 

C                 D               C                 D

Don't you let the sun fade away.  Don't you let the sun fade away.

C                 D                        C           D

Don't you let the sun be leaving, won't you come to me soon?

 

And even though the stars are listening & the oceans deep, I just go to sleep.

And then I create the silent movie -- you become the star.  Is that what you are, dear?

Your whisper tells a secret, your laughter brings me joy,

And a wonderful feeling I'm nature's own little boy.

But still the tears keep falling, they're raining from the sky

Well, there's a lot of me got to go under before I get high.

 

C                 D               C                     D

Don't you let the sun disappear.  Don't you let the sun disappear.

Don't you let the sun be leaving.  No, you can't be leaving my life.

Say that you won't be leaving my life.  Say that you won't be leaving my life.

Say won't you please.  Stay won't you please.

Say won't you please.  Stay won't you please.

Lord, won't you come and get into my life.

Lord, won't you come and get into my life.

Say won't you please.  Stay won't you please.

Say won't you please.  Stay won't you please.

Oh, Lord, don't go...

 

    G             A             D7           G

And even when the song is over, where have I been?

D7            G

Was it just a dream?

G                       A            D7           G

And though your door is always open, where do I begin?

D7                G   Gm6

May I please come in, dear?
