Biography:
Switchfoot is a Grammy-winning alternative rock band from San Diego, California, United States. The band was formed in 1996 with the brothers Jon Foreman (lead singer/guitarist) and Tim Foreman (bass). Long-time friend Chad Butler (drums) joined soon after. Eventually the band evolved to what it is today with the addition of members Jerome Fontamillas (key/guitar/electronics - formerly of Mortal and Fold Zandura) and Drew Shirley (guitar - formerly of All Together Separate).

Repeat parts I + II again
Repeat the verse again, and note that the guitar drops out at a couple parts
Repeat pre-chorus
At part II, another guitar part comes in. I believe Drew is using a Digitech Whammy here
to one octave up and playing this

D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
(I think the slide-up is simulated by the Whammy btw)
If you don't own a Whammy (and I suggest buying one because they're loads of fun), you
play this. It won't sound quite the same, though.

D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Play the main riff for the solo, with some variations on what's palm-muted
Pre-chorus again
Parts I+II, then I again
The last time part II is played, Drew changes up the Whammy thing a little and plays
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(if you stink at bending, just sliding up to the 7 is fine)
And for you Whammy-not-havers

(these are 10's, NOT 1's and 0's!)
Play through the riff a few more times without the palm mute, and end on that last note
the 10th fret of the low E (or D, whatever you want to call it)
I might the rest later, but you have all the parts that are actually worth knowing for now!

Boom... The Static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
Ooooh
Ooooh
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Can you hear it rise
Up from the ground
Can’t drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound of the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation
We are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking down
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Oooh
Oooh
Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love
This is the sound of a heartbeat
this is the sound of the discontented mouths
of a haunted nation
we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our own collision
we are the voice of breaking down
Down
Down
Down
Let it rise above
Up from the ground
Can't drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound of the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation, we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our condition, we are the voice of breaking down
This is the sound
This is the sound

Repeat parts I + II again
Repeat the verse again, and note that the guitar drops out at a couple parts
Repeat pre-chorus
At part II, another guitar part comes in. I believe Drew is using a Digitech Whammy here
to one octave up and playing this

(I think the slide-up is simulated by the Whammy btw)
If you don't own a Whammy (and I suggest buying one because they're loads of fun), you
play this. It won't sound quite the same, though.

Play the main riff for the solo, with some variations on what's palm-muted
Pre-chorus again
Parts I+II, then I again
The last time part II is played, Drew changes up the Whammy thing a little and plays
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(if you stink at bending, just sliding up to the 7 is fine)
And for you Whammy-not-havers

(these are 10's, NOT 1's and 0's!)
Play through the riff a few more times without the palm mute, and end on that last note
the 10th fret of the low E (or D, whatever you want to call it)
I might the rest later, but you have all the parts that are actually worth knowing for now!
l PM Palm-Mute
l . staccato

Boom... The Static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below
Ooooh
Ooooh
The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
We run as thick as blood
Can you hear it rise
Up from the ground
Can’t drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound of the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation
We are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
By our own collision
We are the voice of breaking down
The static comes alive
Beneath the broken skies
John Perkins said it right
Love is the final fight
Oooh
Oooh
Let it rise above
Rise above
There is no song
Louder than love
This is the sound of a heartbeat
this is the sound of the discontented mouths
of a haunted nation
we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me?
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our own collision
we are the voice of breaking down
Down
Down
Down
Let it rise above
Up from the ground
Can't drown it out
Can you hear it now
This is the sound of a heartbeat
This is the sound of the discontented mouths
Of a haunted nation, we are the voice of breaking down
Can you hear me
This is the sound of the desperation bound
by our condition, we are the voice of breaking down
This is the sound
This is the sound
