D E A D


[Verse 1]
D          E           A                     D
It was a song that I heard once at a party
D          E              A                   D
Played it way too loud, eventually the cops came (oh)


[Chorus]
D            E            F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
D             E           F#m               A
You are the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
D             E           F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
A D                         E               D E F#m  A
  New life's beginning but you are the ring-i-i-i-ng

[Verse 2]
D         E            A                  D
Was an island in the middle of the ocean
D             E                 F#m            A  D
No one could find the place and so it stays unbroken
D          E          F#m              A        D
Like any man, who was born upon that white sand
D              E                F#m               A     D
It's hard to sleep at night when I'm capsized on dry land


[Chorus]
D            E            F#m
There is a burning on my feet
D              E                F#m                A
The kind of blisters where it's hard to walk for weeks
D             E          F#m
There is a burning on my feet
A D                              E
  The world keeps turning, but there is a burning


[Bridge]
F#m                  A
   And I wanted you to hear
       E                                 D
   To find whatever's strong enough and see yourself more clear
F#m                  A
   I wonder how it sounds
          E                                 D             E  F#m   A  D
   We'll hear each other's voice when the other's not ar-ou-ou-nd


[Chorus]
D            E            F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
D             E           F#m               A
You are the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
D             E           F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
A D                         E
  New life's beginning but you are the ringing
D                 E           F#m   A
Oh, you are the ringing in my ears
D            E            F#m               A
I love the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
D             E           F#m
You are the ringing in my ears
A D                         E              D  E F#m   A  D
  New life's beginning but you are the ring-i-i-i-ng
D          E            A                D
It was a song that I heard once at a party
