Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
The static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
Interlude
(Oohs)
Verse 2
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Prechorus
Can you hear it rise, Up from the ground
Can't drown it out, Can you hear it now
- Chorus
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound from the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation
We are the voice of breaking
Down, Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking
Down
Verse 3
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Interlude
(Oohs)
Prechorus 2
Let it rise above, Rise above
There is no song, Louder than love
- Chorus
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound from the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation
We are the voice of breaking
Down, Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking
Down
Breakdown
(This is the part where it gets quiet and then the solo comes in before a
third prechorus. If you are chording here just continue the Dsus2 D7sus2
combo for the whole thing.)
Prechorus 2
Let it rise above, Rise above
There is no song, Louder than love
- Chorus
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound from the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation
We are the voice of breaking
Down, Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking
Down
