{section: Verse 1}
        [Emaj7]On    [F#m7] a   [Emaj7]  quie[Ab]t  [Amaj7]night
        [Gmaj7]You can [Amaj7]hear the [Emaj7]rustling of the l[Bsus4]eaves
        [Emaj7]On    [F#m7] a   [Emaj7]  quie[Ab]t  [Amaj7]night
        [Gmaj7]Distant [Amaj7]voices carry [Emaj7]softly in the [Bsus4]breeze

{section: Chorus 1}
        And [C#m]I'm inside my room
        [Abm]Captured in a moment's thought
        [Gmaj7]Strumming on a chord from my g[F#m7]uitar
        A/B [[N.C.]; harpsichord as per intro]
        Silently, silently (silently)
        So silently (so silently)

{section: Verse 2}
        On a quiet night
        Time hangs heavy in the air just like a cloud
        I'm lying on my bed
        Scratching my head, wondering what it's about

{section: Chorus 2}
        Are we all minstrels
        Playing in a three-ring circus
        Searching for a purpose that's not there
        Silently, silently (silently)
        So silently (so silently, so silently, so silently)

{section: Bridge}
{sot}        bass:

        [Eb7]    Everybody's t[Abm]hinking
        Gotta [F#]get ahead, gotta get ah[B]ead
        [Eb7]    Everybody's d[Abm]rinking
        [F#]Hurrying, worrying, p[A]laying the game
        All a[Abm]cting the same
        As [B]I look o[A]ut through my [Abm]window[F#m]pane

{section: Verse 3}
        On a quiet night
        The wind, it can play tricks on your ear
        Like some unsolved mystery
        We all guess at the ending, but nobody comes near

[repeat chorus 2]

{section: Coda}
        [A/B]
