Key: B 🎸 Verse 1: B E My choir director was harsh but G#m E It made him the perfect teacher B E By waving a wand, he took folks G#m F# Who could sing and he made them singers 🎸 Pre-Chorus 1: G#m E I didn't enjoy it that much B F# Some things that he said really stuck 🎸 Chorus 1: B E G#m E He said music is sound and silence B E G#m F# Sound and silence
🎸 Verse 2: B E Paid too much for coffee to go G#m E And I wandered the lonely city B E I decided that I had grown deaf or G#m F# that God just gave up on speaking 🎸 Pre-Chorus 2: G#m E It felt like a permanent pause B F# But I think it was part of the song 🎸 Chorus 2: B E G#m E One half of the sound and silence B E G#m F# Sound and silence 🎸 Verse 3: B E Head in hands, I have sobbed on a pew G#m E To the sound of an empty church B E Where the echo of Sunday’s song dies, G#m F# Leaving silence too deep for words 🎸 Pre-Chorus 3: G#m E But every beautiful song has a break B F# Every pause holds a meaningful place G#m E And it sears when the silence begins B F# But it sings when the choir comes back in 🎸 Chorus 3: B E G#m E Music is sound and silence B E G#m F# Sound and silence B E G#m E Oh, music is sound and silence B E G#m F# B Sound and silence
