[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# E
I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down
[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
N.c
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
N.c
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
[Instrumental]
B Badd9 B B6 B
B Badd9 B B6 B
[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# E
I'd burn the city to the ground to turn it down
[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
N.c
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
N.c
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
E D A
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
B
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
[Solo]

[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
[Outro]
E D A B
N.c
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
N.c
Silence is golden, is golden, it's golden
