Intro
G G/B Cadd9 C
V1
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...
Prechorus
G G/B
If things get real for me down here,
Cadd9
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
promise to take me back to the tune we played,
C Dsus4 D
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.
V2
G
My silence solidifies,
G/B C
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...

Middle 8
Em C G
I knelt before some strangers face,
D (B/D#)
Well I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,
Em C
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,
G B7 C D
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...
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

D G D
The sound of white,

The sound of white,
D G G/B Cadd9 C G
The sound of white,
