Quiet Lyrics
by Lights
Song Name: Quiet
Sunday May 22nd, 2011
(mfmagazine Acoustic Version YouTube video link below)
Chords *
(h) = Hammer on
// = Slide up
* When G6 is played the high D is occasionally left out (3rd fret, B string)
If you watched the video it's easy to see that she hammers on the second
finger occasionally. For F and C/G she hammers on the 2nd fret of the G
string. The timing is hard to explain so just practice it.
On this version specifically, she bars the 5th fret but more commonly bars the 4th one.

INTRODUCTION
Fmaj7 (h)//G C/G Csus2/G G6
I'm not yours and you're not mine
(So) We can sit and pass the time
No fighting wars, no ringing chimes
We're just feeling fine
This is where we're s'posed to be
Sitting by a broken tree
No tragedy, no poetry
Just staring at the sky
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
Hold my stand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet
Fmaj7 C/G (h)
With you-ooh-ooh-ooh
With you-ooh-ooh-ooh
I like it here beside you dear
(You're) Even more than you appear
And in the clouds my head is clear
Csus2/G G6 (palm mute/strike body)
Every time you say hello
Here's my heart and here's my mouth
And I can't help if things come out
'Cause there are words I wanna shout
But maybe I'll stay low
Chorus & End
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one, there's not too many
Hold my stand t'keep me steady
Just to be quiet
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I'm the one there's not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet
Fmaj7 C/G (h)
With you-ooh-ooh-ooh
With you-ooh-ooh-ooh
With you-ooh-ooh-ooh
With you-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah oh oh oh
Ohhhh... Ah oh-oh oh oh
Oh oh-oh oh ah oh
With you-ooh-ooh-ooooh
With you-ooh-ooh-ooooh
With you-ooh-ooh-ooooh ahh-ahhh
Fmaj7 (strum once)
With you-ooh-ooh-ooh
C/G (strum once)
