[Verse 1]
A
Rain
Fdim7             A
Coming home again
  Fdim7               C#m
Stepping off the train
            D
How you been?
              C#m
I can’t complain
                D    E
It’s been a while...
                 A
I’m glad you came
Fdim7             A
Coffee in a flask
Fdim7               C#m
Driving much too fast
                    D
Have you had a drink?
                  C#m
Wouldn’t want to ask
      D             E
Don’t wanna think..
              F#m
About the past

[Chorus]
  E               A
This could be the time
                     D
we worked things out
        F#m
We could say some things
              E/Ab
that we should say out
         A       D
 loud
              F#m
And if there’s anything
          E/Ab     A       D
that I’ve learnt by now
           A
Is it’ll be just another thing
       E
 that we don’t talk
              D
about
           A
Ah, it’ll be just another
            E
thing that we don’t
              D
 talk about
           A
Ah, it’ll be just another
            E
thing that we don’t
                D
talk about
           A
It’ll be just another thing
       E                      A
 that we don’t talk about

[Verse 2]
Fdim7             A
Eyes upon the road
      Fdim7            C#m
The chili’s on the stove
                      D
Shall we have a beer?
                     C#m
Should I tell a joke?
         D        E
And keep this sinking
            A
ship afloat
      Fdim7           A
And stumble up to bed
      Fdim7            C#m
But now I’m seeing red
                      D
It’s not what you did
                      C#m
It’s not what you said
         D        E
It’s the silence...
                      F#m
we choose instead
