[Intro]
Gm Ab Gm Ab
[Verse 1]
GmHave you ever wondered, well I have.
About how when I Absay, say red, for example.
There's no way oGmf knowing if red means the same thing in your head
AbAs red means in my head. When someone says red
GmAnd how if we are travelling at, almost the speed of light, Aband we're holding a light
That light will still Gmtravel away from us
At the full speed of Ablight, which seems right in a way
What I'm trying to saAdimy, I'm not sure
But I wonder if inside my Ahead
I'm not just a bit different from some of my Bbfriends
These answers that cBdimome into my mind unbCidden
These stories deAlivered to me fully wDmritten!
And when everyone shouts like they seem to like Ebshouting
The noise in my head is incredibly Dmloud!
And I just wish they'd stop, my Dad and my EbMum.
And the telly and stories would stop just for Conce!
And I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it Emright.
But this noise becomes anger and the anger is Dblight
And its burning inside me would usually Fmfade, but it isn't today!
And the heat and the Dbshouting, and my heart is pounding,
And my eyes are Ebburning, and suddenly everything, everything is...
[Chorus]

Like silence, but not really siFlent.Gm  
Just that still sort of Bbquiet.

Like silence, but not really silFent.Gm  
Just that nice kind of qBbuiet.

Just the Dmsound of your hAm7eart in your heaBbd.

[Intro]

Gm Ab Gm Ab

[Verse 1]

Have you ever wondered, well I have.

About how when I say, say red, for example.

There's no way of knowing if red means the same thing in your head

As red means in my head. When someone says red

Gm Ab

And how if we are travelling at, almost the speed of light, and we're holding a light

That light will still travel away from us

At the full speed of light, which seems right in a way

Adim

What I'm trying to say, I'm not sure

But I wonder if inside my head

I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends

Bdim C

These answers that come into my mind unbidden

A Dm

These stories delivered to me fully written!

And when everyone shouts like they seem to like shouting

The noise in my head is incredibly loud!

And I just wish they'd stop, my Dad and my Mum.

And the telly and stories would stop just for once!

And I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right.

But this noise becomes anger and the anger is light

And its burning inside me would usually fade, but it isn't today!

And the heat and the shouting, and my heart is pounding,

And my eyes are burning, and suddenly everything, everything is...

[Chorus]

F Am

Quiet

F Gm

Like silence, but not really silent.

Just that still sort of quiet.

F Am Bb

Like the sound of a page being turned in a book.

Dm Am7 Bb

Or a pause in a walk in the woods.

F Am

Quiet

F Gm

Like silence, but not really silent.

Just that nice kind of quiet.

F Am Bb

Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed.

Dm Am7 Bb

Just the sound of your heart in your head.

(pause)

And though the people around me.

Bbm A7

Their mouths are still moving.

Eb Gm Bb

The words they are forming,

C C7

Cannot reach me anymore!

And it is quiet.

And I am warm.

Dm Am7 Bb

Like I've sailed.

F Am Bb

Into the eye of the storm.

Dm Am7 Bb
