[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
F* C
They paint the walls with colors that you're not meant to notice.
G
Beiges and browns, off-whites and grayscales,
F C
Fluorescent lights to shine on the eggshell ground.
G
Now you're lying face down,
F
You blend into the background,
C F
Of white noise.
[Verse 2]
F C
They fill the halls with tunes you can't get into your head.
G
4/4 and Dorian, wrote 'em for ignoring 'em, yeah
F C
It sorta sounds like a retro top 40 but wrong.
G
You're not meant to sing along,
F
It isn't that kind of song,
C F
It's white noise.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm G7 Dm
But... if you listen closely I swear,
G7
To God, I swear.
Dm
You can hear the ocean if you
G7
Hold it up to your ear, here
[Chorus]
C F
White noise...
C
(If you listen close between the waves.)
F
White noise...
C
(You can hear the ocean through your wake.)
F
White noise...
C
(If you listen close between the waves.)
F
White noise...
F C
(You can hear the ocean through your wake.)

[Bridge]
F
Check one, two. Check one, two.
C
It's high-fidelity, lossless quality.
F
It's MP, one, two, three, four, five, F-L-A-C.
C
It's polyphonic, the new Philharmonic,
F
With a Juilliard doctorate, live from the Metropolitan.
C
It's theoretically dense, it's impressive.
F
It's microtonal, and it challenges Western
C
notions of art, it's post-avant-garde.
F
It's going places 'cause it comes from the heart.
C
And it's personality's a lack of identity,
F
It makes no statement, but does so quite loudly.
C
It's an aesthetic, I mean, an anesthetic.
F
And it's an experience for your seventh sense, yes.
C
Does it cure cancer? (Yes, it cures cancer!)
F
Wow! It begs the question just to tell you the answer.
C
Do you believe in the power of silence?
F
Well, if you walk the walk, can you talk more-
N.C.
(Shh!) Quiet.
[Chorus]
C F
White noise...
C
(If you listen close between the waves.)
F
White noise...
C
(You can hear the ocean through your wake.)
F
White noise...
C
(If you listen close between the waves.)
F
White noise...
F C
(You can hear the ocean through your wake.)
[Verse 3]
F C
You fill your head with thoughts you find you can't even feel.
G
Try to make room in your skull, but it's full of them.
F C
All of the things that you think and then think about thinking.
G
I know it's hard.
F
But they're not who you are,
C
They're white noise.
They paint the walls with colors that you're not meant to notice
Beiges and browns, off-whites and grayscales
Fluorescent lights to shine on the eggshell ground
Now you're lying face down
You blend into the background
Of white noise
They fill the halls with tunes you can't get into your head
4/4 and Dorian, wrote 'em for ignoring 'em
Yeah, it sorta sounds like a retro top-40 but wrong
You're not meant to sing along
It isn't that kind of song
It's white noise
But If you listen closely I swear, to God I swear
You can hear the ocean if you hold it up to your ear, here:
White noise
If you listen close between the waves
White noise
You can hear the ocean through your wake
White noise
If you listen close between the waves
White noise
You can hear the ocean through your wake
Check one two. Check one two
