Will Wood – White Noise (Guitar)

F*                                                          C
They paint the walls with colors that you're not meant to notice.

 G
Beiges and browns, off-whites and grayscales,

 F                                            C
Fluorescent lights to shine on the eggshell ground.

                       G
Now you're lying face down,

                         F
You blend into the background,

          C      F
Of white noise.

F*                                                      C
They fill the halls with tunes you can't get into your head.

 G
4/4 and Dorian, wrote 'em for ignoring 'em, yeah

    F                                     C
It sorta sounds like a retro top 40 but wrong.

                           G
You're not meant to sing along,

                       F
It isn't that kind of song,

            C      F
It's white noise.

    Dm                G7         Dm
But... if you listen closely I swear,

            G7
To God, I swear.

Dm                  
  You can hear the ocean if you

 G7
Hold it up to your ear, here

C      F
White noise...

                                   C
(If you listen close between the waves.)

       F
White noise...

                                      C
(You can hear the ocean through your wake.)

       F
White noise...

                                   C
(If you listen close between the waves.)

       F
White noise...

                   F*                 C
(You can hear the ocean through your wake.)

F
Check one, two. Check one, two.

C
It's high-fidelity, lossless quality.

F
It's MP, one, two, three, four, five, F-L-A-C.

C
It's polyphonic, the new Philharmonic,

        F
With a Juilliard doctorate, live from the Metropolitan.

C
It's theoretically dense, it's impressive.

F
It's microtonal, and it challenges Western

C
notions of art, it's post-avant-garde.

F
It's going places 'cause it comes from the heart.

    C
And it's personality's a lack of identity,

F
It makes no statement, but does so quite loudly.

C
It's an aesthetic, I mean, an anesthetic.

     F
And it's an experience for your seventh sense, yes.

C
Does it cure cancer? (Yes, it cures cancer!)

F
Wow! It begs the question just to tell you the answer.

C
Do you believe in the power of silence?

          F
Well, if you walk the walk, can you talk more-

C      F
White noise...

                                   C
(If you listen close between the waves.)

       F
White noise...

                                      C
(You can hear the ocean through your wake.)

       F
White noise...

                                   C
(If you listen close between the waves.)

       F
White noise...

                   F*                 C
(You can hear the ocean through your wake.)

F*                                                        C
You fill your head with thoughts you find you can't even feel.

 G
Try to make room in your skull, but it's full of them.

 F                                                       C
All of the things that you think and then think about thinking.

             G
I know it's hard.

                         F
But they're not who you are,

                C
They're white noise.
