D               G            D 
So many times I felt my body tremble 
    D                                     A 
Yet no one knows just what my needs might be 
     D                 G                   D 
When heartaches come I just stand there in silence 
G              D            A             D 
Lips you never speak a word in defense of me 
 
Chorus: 
    G                         D 
You always smile as if I feel nothin’ 
      D                                  A 
While I heard you pretend you just don’t see 
    D          G              D       G 
You never tell my side of the story 
           D  A             D 
Lips speak up, and talk for me 
 
Key Change 1/2 step to D# 
 
Silence is a lonely, lonely feelin’ 
Oh, how I’d like for once to be for real 
I wish you would express the things I’m thinkin’ 
Lips will you speak up and say the things I feel 
 
Chorus 
 
Lips speak up, and talk for me
