                    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] B Badd9 B B6 B B Badd9 B B6 B [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] B Bsus4 [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] B Badd9 B B6 B B Badd9 B B6 B B Badd9 B B6 B B Badd9 B B6 B [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
