[Verse]
 EmSubtle is the sound that lives underground
I've hGeard it all before, thick like all my bones
That brAmeak when they talk, I don't know if I'll walk
If you're nEmot by my sDide
What Emit means to belong; that's all that we want.
I've hGeard you ran away, just to be the same
As Amall that they want.
I heard that you were gone by the Emmo-ornDing.
[Chorus]
So I climb to my fEmall;
To whispers heard no mDore,
And every time I lCook I lose contrGol.
I'll find this girl who yEmells,
Who sleeps beneath the rDain
And every time I trCy, I lose agGain-aDin.
[Verse]
EmLakes and trees collide where I hid my heart.
I wGish you could have seen all the black between
The dAmay you stole my time and the night
When you became mEmine.D  
Oh, yEmou won't hold my hand. You're gone where we see
The sGun is rising at last in all of its glory.
I thAmink you forgot
If you had ever cared for mEme.D  
[Chorus]
So I climb to my fEmall;
To whispers heard no mDore,
And every time I lCook I lose contrGol.
I'll find this girl who yEmells,
Who sleeps beneath the rDain
And every time I trCy, I lose agGain.
[Bridge]
(agaEmin)
(agaAmin)
(agaGin)
[Chorus]
So I climb to my fEmall;
To whispers heard no mDore,
And every time I lCook I lose contrGol.
I'll find this girl who yEmells,
Who sleeps beneath the rDain
And every time I trCy, I lose agGain.

[Verse]

Subtle is the sound that lives underground

I've heard it all before, thick like all my bones

That break when they talk, I don't know if I'll walk

Em D

If you're not by my side

What it means to belong; that's all that we want.

I've heard you ran away, just to be the same

As all that they want.

Em D

I heard that you were gone by the mo-orning.

[Chorus]

So I climb to my fall;

To whispers heard no more,

C G

And every time I look I lose control.

I'll find this girl who yells,

Who sleeps beneath the rain

C G D

And every time I try, I lose again-ain.

[Verse]

Lakes and trees collide where I hid my heart.

I wish you could have seen all the black between

The day you stole my time and the night

Em D

When you became mine.

Oh, you won't hold my hand. You're gone where we see

The sun is rising at last in all of its glory.

I think you forgot

Em D

If you had ever cared for me.

[Chorus]

So I climb to my fall;

To whispers heard no more,

C G

And every time I look I lose control.

I'll find this girl who yells,

Who sleeps beneath the rain

C G

And every time I try, I lose again.

[Bridge]

(again)

[Chorus]

So I climb to my fall;

To whispers heard no more,

C G

And every time I look I lose control.

I'll find this girl who yells,

Who sleeps beneath the rain

C G

And every time I try, I lose again.

[Outro]
