verse 1 :
E6 B E
i’ve got a hunger
F# A
twisting my stomach into knots .
E6 B E F# A
that my tongue has tied off .

E6 B E
my brain’s repeating
F# A
“if you’ve got an impulse let it out”
E6 B E F# A
but they never make it past my mouth .

chorus :
E * E/F#
bop ba
B * A *
this is the sound of settling
E * E/F# B * A *
bop ba bop ba
( x2 )

interlude :
E6 B E F# A ( x2 )

verse 2 :
E6 B E
our youth is fleeting ,
F# A
old age is just around the bend .
E6 B E F# A
and i can’t wait to go gray .

E6 B E
and i’ll sit and wonder
F# A
of every love that could’ve been .
E6 B E F# A
if i’d only thought of something charming to say .

chorus :
E * E/F#
bop ba
B * A *
this is the sound of settling
E * E/F# B * A *
bop ba bop ba
( x4 )

E6 B E
i’ve got a hunger
F# A ( let ring )
twisting my stomach into knots .
