Intro: Dsus2 D9 (x4)

Verse 1:
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                     D9
     The static comes in slow
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                 D9
     You can feel it grow
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                           D9
     Our stream of conscience flows
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                    D9
     Under the streets below

Interlude: Dsus2 D9 (x2)

Verse 2:
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                     D9
     The rivers made of sound
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                      D9
     Still running underground
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                     D9
     Runs like a silent flood
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                     D9
     We run as thick as blood

Prechorus 1:
                BbCan (x1333x@1)you hear it rise
            F6Up (15xxxx@1)from the ground
               BbCan't (x1333x@1)drown it out
                Dsus4Can (xx0233@1)you hear it now

Chorus:
            D5This (xx023x@1)is the sound of a heartbeat
                                        Bb5This (x133xx@1)is the sound from the discontented mouths

Of a haunted nation
G5 (355xxx@1)                         D5We (xx023x@1)are the voice of breaking down

Can you hear me?
                                          Bb5This (x133xx@1)is the sound of the desperation bound

By our own collision
G5 (355xxx@1)                         Dsus2(lead (xx0230@1)into interlude)
We are the voice of breaking down

Interlude 2: Dsus2 D9sus4 (x2)

Verse 3:
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                   D9
     The static comes alive
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                     D9
     Beneath the broken skies
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                       D9
     John Perkins said it right
Dsus2 (xx0230@1)                    D9
     Love is the final fight
