White Noise

* Single strum

[Intro]
 C  F  C  F


[Verse 1]
F*
They paint the walls with colors that
                      C
You're not meant to notice
 G
Beiges and browns, off-whites and
Grayscales
 F
Fluorescent lights to shine on the
           C
Eggshell ground
                       G
Now you're lying face down
                         F
You blend into the background
          C      F
Of white noise


[Verse 2]
F*
They fill the halls with tunes you
                     C
Can't get into your head
 G
4/4 And Dorian, wrote 'em for ignoring
'Em, yeah
    F
It sorta sounds like a retro top 40 but
   C
 Wrong
                           G
You're not meant to sing along
                       F
It isn't that kind of song
            C      F
It's white noise


[Pre-Chorus]
    Dm                G7         Dm
But... if you listen closely I swear
            G7
To God, I swear
Dm
  You can hear the ocean if you
 G7
Hold it up to your ear, here


[Chorus]
C      F
White noise

(If you listen close between the
  C
Waves.)
       F
White noise

(You can hear the ocean through your
 C
Wake.)
       F
White noise

(If you listen close between the
  C
Waves.)
       F
White noise
                   F*
(You can hear the ocean through your
 C
Wake.)


[Instrumental]
 C  F  C  F  C  F  C


[Bridge]
F
Check one, two. Check one, two
C
It's high-fidelity, lossless quality
F
It's MP, one, two, three, four, five
F-l-a-c
C
It's polyphonic, the new Philharmonic
        F
With a Juilliard doctorate, live from
The Metropolitan
C
It's theoretically dense, it's
Impressive
F
It's microtonal, and it challenges
Western
C
Notions of art, it's post-avant-garde
F
It's going places 'cause it comes from
The heart
    C
And it's personality's a lack of
Identity
F
It makes no statement, but does so
Quite loudly
C
It's an aesthetic, I mean, an
Anesthetic
     F
And it's an experience for your seventh
 Sense, yes
C
Does it cure cancer? (Yes, it cures
Cancer!)
F
Wow! It begs the question just to tell
You the answer
C
Do you believe in the power of silence?
          F
Well, if you walk the walk, can you
Talk more-
N.c
(Shh!) Quiet


[Chorus]
C      F
White noise

(If you listen close between the
  C
Waves.)
       F
White noise

(You can hear the ocean through your
 C
Wake.)
       F
White noise

(If you listen close between the
  C
Waves.)
       F
White noise
                   F*
(You can hear the ocean through your
 C
Wake.)


[Verse 3]
F*
You fill your head with thoughts you
                     C
Find you can't even feel
 G
Try to make room in your skull, but
It's full of them
 F
All of the things that you think and
                    C
Then think about thinking
             G
I know it's hard
                         F
But they're not who you are
                C
They're white noise
