BB  Badd9Badd9  BB  B6B6  BB


🎸 Verse :
          BB
I wish that I could freeze time
     Badd9Badd9
Go to the wild, soak up the quiet
BB              B6B6 BB
Til I'm dripping wet with it
       BB
Then I would drive home
     Badd9Badd9
Go to my room, wring myself out
BB             B6B6 BB
That would be the end of it
       BB
Instead it's white noise
      Badd9Badd9
Sufferingly loud, it's wearing me down
BB           B6B6 BB
I'm up to my ears in it
      BB
It's like a wave break
    Badd9Badd9
Into my head, again and again
BB             B6B6 BB
How are you not hearing it

🎸 Chorus:
  E MajorE                                 A augmentedA        G+G
The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound
       F#F#     FF
I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down

🎸 Verse :
        BB
Like a flock of birds flung
      Badd9Badd9
Out of the trees into the sky
BB            B6B6 BB
Any sound will set me off
     BB
I'm gonna hurl now
        Badd9Badd9
Strapped to my seat and into the ride
BB             B6B6 BB
Somebody please let me off
      BB
Maybe I'll break
      Badd9Badd9
Just shatter, disperse, like cracks in a glass
BB              B6B6 BB
And never hold a drink again
       BB
Hey there's a feedback
     Badd9Badd9
Making it worse, a million hertz
BB            B6B6 BB
I can hear the ring again

🎸 Chorus:
  E MajorE                                 A augmentedA        G+G
The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound
       F#F#     FF
I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down

🎸 Verse :
          BB       Badd9Badd9
It's building to a siren screaming
          BB        B6B6 BB
It's building to a jet plane engine
       BB       Badd9Badd9
Building to 6am construction
         BB            B6B6     BB
It's building and building and building until I can't function at all
