chords - Cm C C# C#m Fm Eb


Intro
Gm , G# (x2)

Verse 1

Gm
Have you ever wondered, well I have.
        G#
About how when I say, say red, for example.
         Gm
There's no way of knowing if red
Gm
Means the same thing in your head
  G#
As red means in my head. When someone says red

Verse2

 Gm                     G#
It's as if we are traveling at, almost the speed of light
G#
And we're holding a light
           Gm
That light will still travel away from us
           G#
At the full speed of light, which seems right in a way
          Cm
What I'm trying to say, I'm not sure
             C
But I wonder if inside my head
                       C#
I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends

Eb
These answers that come into my mind unbidden
C#                  C
These stories delivered to me fully written!
     C#                   C
And when everyone shouts like they seem to like shouting
               C#
The noise in my head is incredibly loud!
                      C
And I just wish they'd stop, my Dad and my Mum.
                        C#
And the telly and stories would stop just for once!
                      Fm
And I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right.
     Cm                  C#
But this noise becomes anger and the anger is light
                     Fm
And its burning inside me would usually fade.
       C#
But it isn't today!
           Fm
And the heat and the shouting.
    C#
And my heart is pounding.
    Fm
And my eyes are burning
   Eb                Eb
And suddenly everything, everything is...



Chorus

Fsus2 F
Quiet
   C       Bb
Like silence, but not really silent.
Bb
Just that still sort of quiet.
     Bb     F     C      Bb
Like the sound of a page being turned in a book.
   Dm    C      Bb
Or a pause in a walk in the woods.
Chorus
F   C
Quiet
   Bb
Like silence, but not really silent.
     F  C    Bb
Just that nice kind of quiet.
     Bb       F     C      Bb
Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed.
     F       C       Bb
Just the sound of your heart in your head.
Pre- chorus
        Bb
And though the people around me.
   Bbm
Their mouths are still moving.
   F       Gm7
The words they are forming,
        C
Cannot reach me anymore!

Chorus 2

     F
And it is quiet.
     C
And I am warm.
     Bb
Like I've sailed.
           F  C  Bb
Into the eye of the storm.

Outro:

Dm C  Bb
End on F
