  			The only version up here is rubbish adn was driving me insane so I decided to tab it  
myself so that other, nearly as insane people, could use it :-) 

Standard Tuning. 

Intro 
G G/B Cadd9 C 


V1 

G                         G/B 
Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be, 
Cadd9                           C 
what you were, what you were to me in memory. 
         G                            G/B 
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star, 
     Cadd9           C 
envelope me, envelope me... 

Prechorus 

G                             G/B 
If things get real for me down here, 
           Cadd9 
promise to take me to before you went away - 

if only for a day. 
G                              G/B 
If things get real for me down here, 
           Cadd9 
promise to take me back to the tune we played, 
  C               Dsus4 D 
before you went away. 


G                 D              C 
And if I listen to, the sound of white, 
                         D                        G 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light. 
                 D                C    D 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white .. 
           G                G/B                    C 
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery. 

V2 
G 
My silence solidifies, 
G/B                    C 
until that hollow void erases you, 
              Cadd9 
erases you so I can't feel at all. 
         G                               G/B 
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness 
                     Cadd9             D 
will end the painful dream, of you and me... 

Prechorus 

G                             G/B 
If things get real for me down here, 
           Cadd9 
promise to take me to before you went away - 

if only for a day. 
G                              G/B 
If things get real for me down here, 
           Cadd9 
promise to take me back to the tune we played, 
  C               Dsus4 D 
before you went away. 

G                 D              C 
And if I listen to, the sound of white, 
                         D                        G 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light. 
G                 D              C 
And if I listen to, the sound of white, 
                         D                        G 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light. 
                 D                C    D 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white .. 

Middle 8 

Em          C                   G 
I knelt before some strangers face, 
                            D                      (B/D#) 
Well I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place, 
Em                      C 
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead, 
G                                             B7      C D 
  And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair... 

G                 D              C 
And if I listen to, the sound of white, 
                         D                        G 
sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light. 
                 D                C    D 
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white 
D            G     D 
The sound of white, 
D            C     D 
The sound of white, 
D            G          G/B Cadd9 C G 
The sound of white,
