Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
Em Bm D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Am
(2x)
[Verse 1]
Em Bm
Something's livin' here beside us, hovering around this place
D Am
Something's breathing up the air, something's filling up the empty space
Em Bm
It's the honesty hiding, in the words we never say
D Am
Standing in the dark crying, trying not to fade away
[Chorus]
C Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud
Em
But if we don't break it down
D Dsus4 D
Gotta find a way to turn it down
Am C/B C
Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice
Em
It's such a lonely sound
D Dsus4
Gotta find a way to turn it down
D Bm C
It's the silence that will drown us out
[Interlude]
Em Bm D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Am
[Verse 2]
Em Bm
Every day's a distant friend but the night is like an enemy
D Am
Am I a stranger in this bed or is the stranger lying next to me
Em Bm
I've been giving just enough, having promised you the best of me
D Am
Just a shadow of our love, no that's not what we need
[Chorus]
C Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud
Em
But if we don't break it down
D Dsus4 D
Gotta find a way to turn it down
Am C/B C
Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice
Em
It's such a lonely sound
D Dsus4
Gotta find a way to turn it down
D Bm C
It's the silence that will drown us out
[Bridge] (palm muted)
C D
I can feel the water rising now
Bm C
What you're holding on to, let it out
C D Bm C
Even if the star comes falling down, falling down, falling down
C D
I can feel the water rising now
Bm C
What you're holding back just let it out
C D Bm C
Even if the star comes falling down, falling down, falling down
[Chorus]
C Am
I know right now it's too hard to say these things out loud
Em
But if we don't break it down
D Dsus4 D
Gotta find a way to turn it down
Am C/B C
Through the noise it's been getting hard to hear your voice
Em
It's such a lonely sound
D Dsus4
Gotta find a way to turn it down
D Bm C D C
It's the silence that will drown us out
D Bm C
It's the silence that will drown us out
You say you broke down into a million pieces
Walking our hometown, those empty places
Streets that we used to play, before we both moved away, one day
Back then the whole world was wide and open
We had the wildest dreams that kept us hoping
No matter what you choose, there's always something you lose, someday
The further and further you go, the stronger the pull
You run and you run, do you know why you're running at all?
When you're homesick, maybe you've forgotten where your home is
Sometimes we all get lost and we don't notice
Someone's right here for you
When you're homesick, just don't ever think that you're the only
One who's gotten good at never showing that they're lonely
Yeah, I know how it feels when you're homesick
The sand in your hand, it slowly slips away
Remember old friends like it was yesterday
You can turn back the time, so you see that it's fine, it's fine
The further and further you go, the stronger the pull
You run and you run, do you know why you're running at all?
When you're homesick, maybe you've forgotten where your home is
Sometimes we all get lost and we don't notice
Someone's right here for you
When you're homesick, just don't ever think that you're the only
One who's gotten good at never showing that they're lonely
Yeah, I know how it feels when you're homesick
Are you a stranger to yourself?
Wondering where you're from, wondering who you are
Who ever thought your hungry heart would pull you back this way
Right back to the start
When you're homesick, maybe you've forgotten where your home is
Sometimes we all get lost and we don't notice
Someone's right here for you
When you're homesick, just don't ever think that you're the only
One who's gotten good at never showing that they're lonely
Yeah, I know how it feels when you're homesick
When you're homesick
When you're homesick
When you're homesick
