The Sound Of White chords by Missy Higgins

Chords with lyrics

The only version up here is rubbish adn was driving me insane so I decided to tab it
myself so that other, nearly as insane people, could use it :-)

Standard Tuning.

Intro
G+G G/BG/B Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC


V1

G+G             G/BG/B
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,
Cadd9Cadd9              C majorC
what you were, what you were to me in memory.
     G+G              G/BG/B
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star,
   Cadd9Cadd9      C majorC
envelope me, envelope me...

Prechorus

G+G               G/BG/B
If things get real for me down here,
      Cadd9Cadd9
promise to take me to before you went away -

if only for a day.
G+G               G/BG/B
If things get real for me down here,
      Cadd9Cadd9
promise to take me back to the tune we played,
 C majorC        Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
before you went away.

Chorus
G+G         D MajorD       C majorC
And if I listen to, the sound of white,
             D MajorD            G+G
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
         D MajorD        C majorC  D MajorD
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..
      G+G        G/BG/B          C majorC
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.

V2
G+G
My silence solidifies,
G/BG/B          C majorC
until that hollow void erases you,
       Cadd9Cadd9
erases you so I can't feel at all.
     G+G                G/BG/B
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness
           Cadd9Cadd9       D MajorD
will end the painful dream, of you and me...

Prechorus

G+G               G/BG/B
If things get real for me down here,
      Cadd9Cadd9
promise to take me to before you went away -

if only for a day.
G+G               G/BG/B
If things get real for me down here,
      Cadd9Cadd9
promise to take me back to the tune we played,
 C majorC        Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
before you went away.

Chorus
G+G         D MajorD       C majorC
And if I listen to, the sound of white,
             D MajorD            G+G
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
G+G         D MajorD       C majorC
And if I listen to, the sound of white,
             D MajorD            G+G
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
         D MajorD        C majorC  D MajorD
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..

Middle 8

E minorEm     C majorC          G+G
I knelt before some strangers face,
              D MajorD           (B/D#B/D#)
Well I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,
E minorEm           C majorC
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,
G+G                       B7B7   C majorC D MajorD
 And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...

G+G         D MajorD       C majorC
And if I listen to, the sound of white,
             D MajorD            G+G
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
         D MajorD        C majorC  D MajorD
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
D MajorD      G+G   D MajorD
The sound of white,
D MajorD      C majorC   D MajorD
The sound of white,
D MajorD      G+G     G/BG/B Cadd9Cadd9 C majorC G+G
