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 F C/E Fadd9 F V1
F                         C/E
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,

Fadd9                           F
what you were, what you were to me in memory.

         F                            C/E
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star,

     Fadd9           F
envelope me, envelope me...
Prechorus
F                             C/E
If things get real for me down here,

           Fadd9
promise to take me to before you went away -
if only for a day.
F                              C/E
If things get real for me down here,

           Fadd9
promise to take me back to the tune we played,

  F               Gsus4 G
before you went away.
Chorus
F                 G              F
And if I listen to, the sound of white,

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

                 G                F    G
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..

           F                C/E                    F
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.
V2
F
My silence solidifies,

C/E                    F
until that hollow void erases you,

              Fadd9
erases you so I can't feel at all.

         F                               C/E
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness

                     Fadd9             G
will end the painful dream, of you and me...
Prechorus
F                             C/E
If things get real for me down here,

           Fadd9
promise to take me to before you went away -
if only for a day.
F                              C/E

And if I listen to, the sound of white,

                         G                        F

F                 G              F
And if I listen to, the sound of white,

                         G                        F

                 G                F    G
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..
Middle 8
Am          F                   F
I knelt before some strangers face,

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

Am                      F
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,

F                                             E7      F G
  And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...

F                 G              F
And if I listen to, the sound of white,

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

                 G                F    G
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white

G            F     G
The sound of white,

G            F     G
The sound of white,

G            F          C/E Fadd9 F F
The sound of white,
