The Sound of You
Chords used in this version (in order of appearance): D, Dsus2, Bm, G, E, A, D7 -- Capo 2
D
I'm getting used to the sound of me
All tripped up and fumbling,
Dsus2
Picking words from that lovely stream
Of all the things that you mean to me
Bm
'Cause it hurts.
G
Oh, it hurts to like you so much.
D
How to thank the earth for you?
The eyes, the smile, the wisdom too.
Dsus2
You're all good things thrown into one.
Bm
You put the flowers on my tongue that say
G
"Yes I love you this way".
A D
And there's so much that I should tell you,
A G
And there's so much that you should see.
E
So many "Keep out: heart bound" places
A
You belong in me.
D
I'm getting used to the sound of you
Volleying back this feeling too,
Dsus2
Tasting all the things I wished
Bm
Waiting in that lovely kiss with you,
G
Where there's no hiding the truth.
D
And how you treat me like a queen
Like when I said my eyes were swampy green,
Dsus2
And I saw you smile and I heard you say
Bm
"If your eyes are swamps, they're the Everglades",
G
And that you love them that way.
A D
Sometimes it's hard for me to tell you
A G
What is harder still to hide,
E
And so I hold tight, stay trite,
A
And just can't let my heart decide.
D
But despite my fear
D7 G E
I've got no way of stopping
A
The sound of you from breaking through
E A
The static in my mind.
D
And I just won't hear
D7 G E
Another word of caution
A
I know it's dangerous
To love like us,
E A D
But I feel safe enough in the sound of you.
(Instrumental. Good luck.)
D
I remember how it used to feel
To try to make indifference real,
Dsus2
To weed out love so skillfully
Bm
That you would never get to see the flag
G
You were sticking in my heart those days.
D
I knew gravity would get to me,
And I'd be yours eventually,
Dsus2
But never dreamed it could be so sweet
Bm
Watching you just talk to me at night
G
While the city lights were burning outside.
A D
Sometimes it's hard for me tell you (but I'll tell you)
A G
'Cause I know you sympathize
E
When I hold tight, stay trite,
A
And just can't let my heart decide.
D
But despite my fear
D7 G E
I've got no way of stopping
A
The sound of you from breaking through
E A
The static in my mind.
D
And I just won't hear

Another word of caution

I know it's dangerous
To love like us,

But I feel safe enough in the sound of you.

Another word of caution
