intro : Dsus2 D9 ( x4 )

verse 1 :
Dsus2 D9
the static comes in slow
Dsus2 D9
you can feel it grow
Dsus2 D9
our stream of conscience flows
Dsus2 D9
under the streets below

interlude : Dsus2 D9 ( x2 )

verse 2 :
Dsus2 D9
the rivers made of sound
Dsus2 D9
still running underground
Dsus2 D9
runs like a silent flood
Dsus2 D9
we run as thick as blood

prechorus 1 :
A#
can you hear it rise
F6
up from the ground
A#
cant drown it out
Dsus4
can you hear it now

chorus :
D5
this is the sound of a heartbeat
A#5
this is the sound from the discontented mouths

of a haunted nation
G5 D5
we are the voice of breaking down

can you hear me?
A#5
this is the sound of the desperation bound

by our own collision
G5 Dsus2 ( lead into interlude )
we are the voice of breaking down

interlude 2 : Dsus2 [ ch ] D9sus4 [ /Ch ] ( x2 )

verse 3 :
Dsus2 D9
the static comes alive
Dsus2 D9
beneath the broken skies
Dsus2 D9
john perkins said it right
Dsus2 D9
love is the final fight

interlude

prechorus 2 :
A#
let it rise above

rise above
A#
there is no song
Dsus4
louder than love

up from the ground

cant drown it out

this is the sound
