Voice Of The Voiceless

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
D/F#  Gadd9
D/F#  Gadd9
 
 
[Verse 1]
        D/F#
I can't speak,
        Gadd9
I can't dream,
        D/F#                                Gadd9
I can't change it so you see the world like me,
              D/F#
But there's a pulse,
           Gadd9
So still I try.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          Em7
To feel a beat in the city,
          Em7
Where the streets in the city,
            Em7
They're all crying out tonight.
 
 
[Chorus]
                              Bm
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
              A/C#           D
Can you see a choice for the choiceless?
            Gadd9
It's on the wall,
Gadd9
Can you hear the call to make a noise for the noiseless?
                              Bm          A/C# D
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
                              Gadd9
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
Gadd9     Gadd9*
Oh
 
 
[Verse 2]
           D/F#
Is it just me?
          Gadd9
Or do you feel,
                   D/F#                            Gadd9
We could fight our way out of the wrong end of the deal,
          D/F#
You won't know,
          Gadd9
Until you try.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
          Em7
To feel a beat in the city,
          Em7
Where the streets in the city,
            Em7
They're all crying out tonight.
 
 
[Chorus]
                              Bm
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
              A/C#           D
Can you see a choice for the choiceless?
            Gadd9
It's on the wall,
Gadd9
Can you hear the call to make a noise for the noiseless?
                            Bm
You could be the voice of tomorrow,
               A/C#      D
Fly instead of walking a tightrope,
            Gadd9
Just make a sound & find your ground,
Gadd9
And come on out of the shadows.
                              Bm          A/C#  D
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
                              Gadd11       Gadd11
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
 
 
[Bridge]
G
Out there underneath the silent city streets,
          Em7
Where the lonely hearts they beat for some affection,
    Bm7
But in this dodgy game,
Bm7
Where it's so hard to hear your name,
        Em7
And you desperately aim for some direction.
      A/C#
Don't need to look too far,
A/C#
Too closely or too hard,
      Gadd9
Or to gaze up at the stars to see what's missing,
     Bm7
It's right before our eyes,
Bm7
Hid behind the smiles and lies,
       Asus4                                Asus4
Of the shady crooked guys who never listen.
 
 
[Instrumental]
Bm  A/C#  D
Gadd9
 
 
[Chorus]
                              Bm
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
              A/C#           D
Can you see a choice for the choiceless?
            Gadd9
It's on the wall,
Gadd9
Can you hear the call to make a noise for the noiseless?
                            Bm
You could be the voice of tomorrow,
               A/C#      D
Fly instead of walking a tightrope,
            Gadd9
Just make a sound & find your ground,
Gadd9
And come on out of the shadows.
                              Bm          A/C#  D
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
                              Gadd11       Gadd11
Can you hear the voice of the voiceless?
                             N.C.
We could be the voice of the voiceless.
