🎸 Intro:

B   Badd9   B   B6   B



🎸 Verse :
                    B
I wish that I could freeze time
          Badd9
Go to the wild, soak up the quiet
B                           B6  B
Til I'm dripping wet with it
             B
Then I would drive home
         Badd9
Go to my room, wring myself out
B                          B6  B
That would be the end of it
             B
Instead it's white noise
            Badd9
Sufferingly loud, it's wearing me down
B                      B6  B
I'm up to my ears in it
            B
It's like a wave break
        Badd9
Into my head, again and again
B                         B6  B
How are you not hearing it

The sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound, the sound
             F#          F
I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down

🎸 Verse :
                B
Like a flock of birds flung
           Badd9
Out of the trees into the sky
B                        B6  B
Any sound will set me off
          B
I'm gonna hurl now
               Badd9
Strapped to my seat and into the ride
B                         B6  B
Somebody please let me off
           B
Maybe I'll break
            Badd9
Just shatter, disperse, like cracks in a glass
B                           B6  B
And never hold a drink again
              B
Hey there's a feedback
          Badd9
Making it worse, a million hertz
B                        B6  B
I can hear the ring again

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

🎸 Verse :
                   B              Badd9
It's building to a siren screaming
                   B               B6  B
It's building to a jet plane engine
             B              Badd9
Building to 6am construction
                  B                       B6          B
It's building and building and building until I can't function at all

Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
