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
