A Bb B C D

G(add#11)
 Sons of the silent age
F(add#11)
Stand on platforms blank looks and note books
G(add#11)
 Sit in back rows of city limits
       F(add#11)
Lay in bed coming and going on easy terms
G(add#11)
 Sons of the silent age
F(add#11)
Pace their rooms like a cell's dimensions
     G(add#11)
Rise for a year or two then make war
                     F(add#11)
Search through their one inch thoughts
Then decide it couldn't be done

Eb         D             Db
Baby, I'll never let you go
      C            Ab
All I see is all I know
            Bb         Eb
Let's take another way down (sons of sound and sons of sound)
                 D             Db
Baby, baby, I'll never let you down
        C             Ab
I can't stand another sound
            Bb         Eb
Let's find another way in (sons of sound and sons of sound)

A Bb B C D

G(add#11)
 Sons of the silent age
F(add#11)
Listen to tracks by Sam Therapy and King Dice
G(add#11)
 Sons of the silent age
F(add#11)
Pick up in bars and cry only once
G(add#11)
 Sons of the silent age
F(add#11)
Make love only once but dream and dream
     G(add#11)
They don't walk, they just glide in and out of life
     F(add#11)
They never die, they just go to sleep one day

Eb            D            Db
Baby, I won't ever let you go
      C            Ab
All I see is all I know
            Bb         Eb
Let's take another way down (sons of sound and sons of sound)
                             D            Db
Oh baby, baby, baby, I won't ever let you down
        C             Ab
I can't stand another sound
            Bb         Eb
Let's find another way in (sons of sound and sons of sound)
B
(Sons of sound and sons of sound)
                Ab          Eb
Baby, baby, baby, fire away!
