chords - Cm C C# C#m Fm Eb
[Intro]
Gm , G# (x2)
[Verse 1]
Gm
Have you ever wondered, well I have.
G#
About how when I say, say red, for example.
Gm
There's no way of knowing if red
Gm
Means the same thing in your head
G#
As red means in my head. When someone says red
[Verse 2]
Gm G#
It's as if we are traveling at, almost the speed of light
G#
And we're holding a light
Gm
That light will still travel away from us
G#
At the full speed of light, which seems right in a way
Cm
What I'm trying to say, I'm not sure
C
But I wonder if inside my head
C#
I'm not just a bit different from some of my friends
Eb
These answers that come into my mind unbidden
C# C
These stories delivered to me fully written!
C# C
And when everyone shouts like they seem to like shouting
C#
The noise in my head is incredibly loud!
C
And I just wish they'd stop, my Dad and my Mum.
C#
And the telly and stories would stop just for once!
Fm
And I'm sorry, I'm not quite explaining it right.
Cm C#
But this noise becomes anger and the anger is light
Fm
And its burning inside me would usually fade.
C#
But it isn't today!
Fm
And the heat and the shouting.
C#
And my heart is pounding.
Fm
And my eyes are burning
Eb Eb
And suddenly everything, everything is...
[Chorus]
Fsus2 F
Quiet
C Bb
Like silence, but not really silent.
Bb
Just that still sort of quiet.
Bb F C Bb
Like the sound of a page being turned in a book.
Dm C Bb
Or a pause in a walk in the woods.
[Chorus]
F C
Quiet
Bb
Like silence, but not really silent.
F C Bb
Just that nice kind of quiet.
Bb F C Bb
Like the sound when you lie upside down in your bed.
F C Bb
Just the sound of your heart in your head.
Pre- chorus
Bb
And though the people around me.
Bbm
Their mouths are still moving.
F Gm7
The words they are forming,
C
Cannot reach me anymore!
[Chorus 2]
F
And it is quiet.
C
And I am warm.
Bb
Like I've sailed.
F C Bb
Into the eye of the storm.
[Outro]
Dm C Bb
End on F
