The Sound Of White

INTRO: G D C C-D 
 
G               D 
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,  
C                                       D 
what you were, what you were to me in memory.  
G                               D 
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star,  
        C               C       D 
envelope me, envelope me... 
  
 
G                             D 
If things get real for me down here,  
    C                                  D 
promise to take me to before you went away - if only for a day.  
G                             D 
If things get real for me down here,  
    C                                                D 
promise to take me back to the tune we played before you went away.

G               D 
And if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C                       D                    G 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G               D               C       D 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..  
G                              D                    C            
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.  
 


G               D 
My silence solidifies, 
        C                               D 
until that hollow void erases you, erases you so I can't feel at all. 
G                               D                     
But if I never fell again, at least that nothingness  
                C                       D 
will end the painful dream, of you and me...  
 

G                             D               C 
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to  
                        D       G 
before you went away, if only for a day.  
G                              D                       C 
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to 
                                  D 
the tune we played before you went away.

And if I listen to the sound of white? 
 


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

D               G               D                
The sound of white,  
C               D 
The sound of white, 
 G 
The sound of white.
