The Sound of White Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Csus2][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Like a freeze- dried [Bm]rose,
[G]you will nev[Bm]er be,
[Csus2]What you were,
what you were to me in [C]memory.
[Csus2]But if I listen [G]to the dark,
You'll em[Bm]brace me like a star,
[G]Envelope me,[Csus2] envelope me[C][Csus2][D]
[G]If things get real for me down her[Bm]e,
Prom[G]ise to take [Csus2]me to[C]
be[Csus2]fore you went away[C]
If [D]only for a day.
[G]If things get real for me down her[Bm]e,
Promise to take [C]me back to the tun[Csus2]e
We played be[C]fore you went [D]away.

[Verse 2]
[G]And if I listen to,[D]
the sound of white,
[C]Sometimes I hear your smile,
[D]and breath your light.
[G]Yeah if I listen to,[D]
the sound [C]of white[D]
You're my mys[G]tery. One mystery.
[Bm]My m[G]ystery. One mystery.[C]
[Csus2][C][Csus2][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]My
silence solidi[Bm]fies,
Until that hollow [G]void [C]erases you,
[Csus2]Erases you so I [C]can't feel at all.
But if I nev[G]er fell again,
at least that [Bm]nothingness
Will end the pain[G]ful [Csus2]dream,
of you and [C]me[D]
[G]If things get real for me down her[Bm]e,
prom[G]ise to take [C]me to
Before you [Csus2]went away[C], if only[D] for a day.
[G]If things get real for me down her[Bm]e,
[G]promise to take me [C]back to
The tun[Csus2]e we played
be[C]fore you went [D]away.

[Verse 4]
[G]And if I listen to,[D] the sound of white
[C]Sometimes I hear your smile,
[D]and breath your light.
[G]Yeah if I listen to,[D] the sound of white
[C]Sometimes I hear your smile,
[D]and breath your light.
[G]And if I listen to,[D]
the sound of white.
[C][D]

[Verse 5]
[Em]
I knelt [C]before some strangers [G]face,
I'd never have the cour[D]age
or belief to trust this place,
[Em]But I dropped my head,[C]
'cause it felt like [G]lead,
And I'm sure I felt your fin
[B]gers through my [C]hair[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]And if I listen to,[D]
the sound of [C]white sometimes
I hear your [D]smile, and breathe your light.
[G]Yeah if I listen to,[D] the sound of whi[C]te.[D]
The sound of [G]white,[D]
The sound [C]of white,[D]

[Outro 1]
The sound of white.
[D][G][G][C]
