************* SILENT PARTNERS **************

written by Bobby Braddock

performed by Waylon Jennings

Verse 1:
EE Piano Chord 

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
BB Piano Chord 

Then he says...
AA Piano Chord 

And she says...

Chorus:
EE Piano Chord 

Silent partners,they don't say a word

She is the adjective and he is the verb
AA Piano Chord 

They speak with their bodies and they talk with their eyes
BB Piano Chord 
                            AA Piano Chord 

They don't make no promises so they don't tell no lies
EE Piano Chord 

Silent partners

Silent partners

Verse 2:
EE Piano Chord 

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
BB Piano Chord 

So he says...
AA Piano Chord 

And she says...

Chorus.

Chorus (last half of it).
