Tom: Bm
Bm E
When you have gone to bed
A F#m
And I am alone inside my head
Bm E
I turn on the stereo
A
The one only I can know
[Bridge]
A
And I hear the songs
Bm
That I didn't write
E
I hear what they sounded like
F#m
All over town
G
All over town
E
All over town
[Verse]
Bm E
It would have made me cry
A F#m
What would have fallen from your eye
Bm E
Would have destroyed our love
E
and I would say...
[Bridge]
A
Oh my God, oh my God, what was I thinking of?
[Chorus]
Bm E
Every night it plays, a little louder
A F#m
Telling me to sing, a little louder
Bm C#
Telling me I can't escape
F# F#7
Escape the way I am, a little louder
Bm E
Every night I open up my folder
A F#m
To recollect the words
[Bridge]
A
I heard in the songs
Bm
That I didn't write
E
I heard what they sounded like
F#m
All over town
G
All over town
E
All over town
[Verse]
Bm E
But when you heard the notes
A F#m
That would have vaulted from my throat
Bm C#
There was a meaning past the awfulness
F#m Ebdim
There's something pure and true
E
That would have been great!
[Solo]
A D E A
A D E
[Verse]
E Bm
It would have made me cry
A F#m
What would have fallen from my eye
Bm E
Merely had poisoned me
E
And I would say
[Bridge]
A
Oh my god, oh my god, I had to get it out
[Chorus]
Bm E
Every night it plays, a little louder
A F#m
Telling me to sing, a little louder
Bm C#
Telling me I can't escape
F# F#7
Escape the way I am, a little louder
Bm E
Every night my pen is getting drier
A F#m
Writing down those words
[Bridge]
F#m A
I sing in the songs
Bm
That I didn't write
E
I sing what they sounded like
F#m
All over town
G
All over town
E
All over town
[Verse]
Bm E
But when you heard the poem
A F#m
That would have shook around our home
Bm C#
There was a chance it could've broken down
F# Ebdim
The walls around our path
E
That would have been great
[Outro]
E
I hear the songs and what they sounded like
E
I hear the songs and what they sounded like
E
I hear the songs and what they sounded like
E
I hear the songs
