INTRO: G5 D5 C5 C5 - D5 
 
G5            D5 
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be,  
C5                              D5 
what you were, what you were to me in memory.  
G5                        D5 
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star,  
      C5            C5       D5 
envelope me, envelope me... 
  
 
G5                        D5 
If things get real for me down here,  
    C5                               D5 
promise to take me to before you went away - if only for a day.  
G5                        D5 
If things get real for me down here,  
    C5                                         D5 
promise to take me back to the tune we played before you went away.  
 
CHORUS 
G5            D5 
And if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C5                  D5                 G5 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G5            D5            C5      D5 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white ..  
G5                         D5                C5             
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery.  
 

G5            D5 
My silence solidifies, 
       C5                        D5 
until that hollow void erases you, erases you so I can't feel at all. 
G5                        D5                  
But if I never fell again, at least that nothingness  
            C5                  D5 
will end the painful dream , of you and me...  
 

G5                        D5                  C5 
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to  
                  D5      G5 
before you went away, if only for a day.  
G5                         D5                   C5 
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to 
                           D5 
the tune we played before you went away.  
 
CHORUS 
G5            D5 
And if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C5                  D5                 G5 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G5            D5 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C5                  D5                 G5 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G5                         D5                C5            D5       
And if I listen to the sound of white? 
 
BRIDGE: 
E5         C5                  G5       
I knelt before some strangers face, 
              D5                  E5  
Well I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place,  
E5            C5                 G5  
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead,  
G5                  B5 (single strum )            C5      D5 
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair...  
 
CHORUS 
G5            D5 
And if I listen to, the sound of white,  
C5                  D5                  
sometimes I hear your smile, and breath your light.  
G5            D5            C5      D5 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white.  
D5            G5            D5             
The sound of white,  
C5            D5 
The sound of white, 
 G5 
The sound of white.
