The only version up here is rubbish adn was driving me insane so I decided to tab it myself so that other, nearly as insane people, could use it :-) Intro G G/B Cadd9 C V1
G                         G/B
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,

Cadd9                           C
what you were, what you were to me in memory.

         G                            G/B
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star,

     Cadd9           C
envelope me, envelope me...
Prechorus
G                             G/B
If things get real for me down here,

           Cadd9
promise to take me to before you went away -
if only for a day.
G                              G/B
If things get real for me down here,

           Cadd9
promise to take me back to the tune we played,

  C               Dsus4 D
before you went away.
Chorus
G                 D              C
And if I listen to, the sound of white,

                         D                        G
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.

                 D                C    D
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..

           G                G/B                    C
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.
V2
G
My silence solidifies,

G/B                    C
until that hollow void erases you,

              Cadd9
erases you so I can't feel at all.

         G                               G/B
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness

                     Cadd9             D
will end the painful dream, of you and me...
Prechorus
G                             G/B
If things get real for me down here,

           Cadd9
promise to take me to before you went away -
if only for a day.
G                              G/B
If things get real for me down here,

           Cadd9
promise to take me back to the tune we played,

  C               Dsus4 D
before you went away.
Chorus
G                 D              C
And if I listen to, the sound of white,

                         D                        G
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.

G                 D              C
And if I listen to, the sound of white,

                         D                        G
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.

                 D                C    D
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..
Middle 8
Em          C                   G
I knelt before some strangers face,

                            D                      (B/D#)
Well I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,

Em                      C
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,

G                                             B7      C D
  And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...

G                 D              C
And if I listen to, the sound of white,

                         D                        G
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.

                 D                C    D
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white

D            G     D
The sound of white,

D            C     D
The sound of white,

D            G          G/B Cadd9 C G
The sound of white,
