• Difficulty: Intermediate

Key: B

🎸 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

🎸 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
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
