Verse 1:
|
E
|
He stands in the doorway,his hands upon his hips
|
|
She stands by the jukebox,a sweet smile on her lips
|
|
He slowly walks up to her,she reaches out for him
|
|
It's almost like some magnet is pulling both of them
|
B
|
Then he says...
|
A
|
And she says...
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
E
|
Silent partners,they don't say a word
|
|
She is the adjective and he is the verb
|
A
|
They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
|
B A
|
They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies
|
E
|
Silent partners
|
|
Silent partners
|
|
|
Verse 2:
|
E
|
Later in their love-nest at half-past ecstasy
|
|
They cling to each other and lie there silently
|
|
She would like to tell him what she feels in her heart
|
|
And he would like to bare his soul
|
|
But don't know where to start
|
B
|
So he says...
|
A
|
And she says...
|
|
|
Chorus.
|
|
|
Chorus (last half of it).
