🎸 Intro:

Em  Bm  D (Dsus4 D Dsus2 D) Am    (2x)

🎸 Verse 1:
Em                                           Bm
Something's livin' here beside us, hovering around this place
D                                                            Am
Something's breathing up the air, something's filling up the empty space
Em                       Bm
  It's the honesty hiding, in the words we never say
D                            Am
  Standing in the dark crying, trying not to fade away


🎸 Chorus:
  C                                         Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud
                         Em
But if we don't break it down
                    D           (Dsus4 D)
Gotta find a way to turn it down
Am                                 (C/B)    C
Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice
                   Em
It's such a lonely sound
                    D           (Dsus4)
Gotta find a way to turn it down
         D                 Bm       C
It's the silence that will drown us out


🎸 Interlude:
Em  Bm  D (Dsus4 D Dsus2 D) Am


🎸 Verse 2:
Em                                                    Bm
Every day's a distant friend but the night is like an enemy
   D                                                 Am
Am I a stranger in this bed or is the stranger lying next to me
Em                            Bm
  I've been giving just enough, having promised you the best of me
D                          Am
  Just a shadow of our love, no that's not what we need


🎸 Chorus:
  C                                         Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud
                         Em
But if we don't break it down
                    D           (Dsus4 D)
Gotta find a way to turn it down
Am                                 (C/B)    C
Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice
                   Em
It's such a lonely sound
                    D           (Dsus4)
Gotta find a way to turn it down
         D                 Bm       C
It's the silence that will drown us out


🎸 Bridge:   (palm muted)
C                    D*
I can feel the water rising now
Bm                         C
What you're holding on to, let it out
C                      D*            Bm                    C
Even if the star comes falling down, falling down, falling down
C                    D*
I can feel the water rising now
Bm                            C
What you're holding back just let it out
C                      D*            Bm                    C
Even if the star comes falling down, falling down, falling down


🎸 Chorus:

Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice

It's such a lonely sound
                    D           (Dsus4)
Gotta find a way to turn it down
