Tom: A
D E A D
[Verse 1]
D E A D
It was a song that I heard once at a party
D E A D
Played it way too loud, eventually the cops came (oh)
[Chorus]
D E F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
D E F#m A
You are the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
D E F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
A D E D E F#m A
New life's beginning but you are the ring-i-i-i-ng
D
[Verse 2]
D E A D
Was an island in the middle of the ocean
D E F#m A D
No one could find the place and so it stays unbroken
D E F#m A D
Like any man, who was born upon that white sand
D E F#m A D
It's hard to sleep at night when I'm capsized on dry land
[Chorus]
D E F#m
There is a burning on my feet
D E F#m A
The kind of blisters where it's hard to walk for weeks
D E F#m
There is a burning on my feet
A D E
The world keeps turning, but there is a burning
[Bridge]
F#m A
And I wanted you to hear
E D
To find whatever's strong enough and see yourself more clear
F#m A
I wonder how it sounds
E D E F#m A D
We'll hear each other's voice when the other's not ar-ou-ou-nd
[Chorus]
D E F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
D E F#m A
You are the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
D E F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
A D E
New life's beginning but you are the ringing
D E F#m A
Oh, you are the ringing in my ears
D E F#m A
I love the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
D E F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
A D E D E F#m A D
New life's beginning but you are the ring-i-i-i-ng
D E A D
It was a song that I heard once at a party
