INTRO: G D C C - D 
 
G            D 
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,  
C                              D 
what you were, what you were to me in memory.  
G                        D 
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star,  
      C            C       D 
envelope me, envelope me... 
  
 
G                        D 
If things get real for me down here,  
    C                               D 
promise to take me to before you went away - if only for a day.  
G                        D 
If things get real for me down here,  
    C                                         D 
promise to take me back to the tune we played before you went away.  
 
CHORUS 
G            D 
And if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C                  D                 G 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G            D            C      D 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..  
G                         D                C             
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.  
 

G            D 
My silence solidifies, 
       C                        D 
until that hollow void erases you, erases you so I can't feel at all. 
G                        D                  
But if I never fell again, at least that nothingness  
            C                  D 
will end the painful dream , of you and me...  
 

G                        D                  C 
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to  
                  D      G 
before you went away, if only for a day.  
G                         D                   C 
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to 
                           D 
the tune we played before you went away.  
 
CHORUS 
G            D 
And if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C                  D                 G 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G            D 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C                  D                 G 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G                         D                C            D       
And if I listen to the sound of white? 
 
BRIDGE: 
Em         C                  G       
I knelt before some strangers face, 
              D                  Em  
Well I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,  
Em            C                 G  
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,  
G                  B (single strum )            C      D 
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...  
 
CHORUS 
G            D 
And if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C                  D                  
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G            D            C      D 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white.  
D            G            D             
The sound of white,  
C            D 
The sound of white, 
 G 
The sound of white.
