INTRO:

[play: G  G/B  Cadd9  C]


VERSE:
G                   G/B
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,
Cadd9                           C
what you were, what you were to me in memory.
         G                            G/B
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star,
         Cadd9        C
Envelope me, envelope me...


PRE-CHORUS:
G                                G/B
  If things get real for me down here,
           Cadd9                                C
Promise to take me to before you went away - if only for a day.
G                                G/B
  If things get real for me down here,
           Cadd9                                 C               Dsus4 D
Promise to take me back to the tune we played, before you went away.


CHORUS:
G                 D                C
  And if I listen to, the sound of white,
                      D                       G
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
                 D                C    D
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white...
          G                     G/B                 C
You're my mystery, one mystery.     My mystery, one mystery.


VERSE:
G                G/B                           C
My silence solidifies, until that hollow void erases you,
              Cadd9
Erases you so I can't feel at all.
         G                               G/B
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness
                     Cadd9             D
Will end the painful dream, of you and me...


[repeat PRE-CHORUS]


[repeat CHORUS]


BRIDGE:
Em          C                   G
  I knelt before some strangers face,
                        D                               Em
Well I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,
                 C                       G
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,
                         B7                 C  D
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...


CHORUS:
G                 D                C
  And if I listen to, the sound of white,
                      D                       G
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light.
                 D                C    D
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
             G     D
The sound of white,
             C     D
The sound of white,
             G     G/B  Cadd9  C  G
The sound of white
