The Sound of the Girl Next Door, Singing · Lyrics & Chords

Becomes Unstoppable EP

Capo 5

C,

D,

C,

D,

C

I’m alone in my room for the

D

first time in years,

C

and as I close my eyes, the only

D

thing I hear,

is the

C

sound of the girl next

D

door,

singing

G

.

C

Outside, there are racketeers

D

selling

souvenirs,

t-

Em

shirts that read “The end of the

G

world

nears.”

and

C

in between their screams and the

D

echoes in the street

is the

C

sound of the girl next

D

door, singing

G

Singing:

C

Goldenheart,

D

don’t let me down

Singing: I

Em

need you,

G

I need you around

Singing:

C

You fit me,

D

so perfect

Em

ly

G

Me,

C

and the girl next

D

door, singing

G

All the

C

heads of state are meeting, making

D

speeches, signing treaties,

while in the city,

Em

peace is sold in pieces, as the

G

people are sleeping,

only

C

listening to the sound of their own,

D

hearts,

beating,

not the

C

sound of the girl next

D

door, singing

G

And artists

C

locked inside creating, in their

D

basements, sculpting, painting,

chasing the

Em

beauty they’re gestating, when all

G

I’m

appreciating

is the

C

inspiration fading from a

D

voice that I hear wavering

in the

C

sound of the girl next

D

door, singing

G

Singing:

C

Goldenheart,

D

don’t let me down

Singing: I

Em

need you,

G

I need you around

Singing:

C

You fit me,

D

so

perfect

Em

ly

G

Me,

C

and the girl next

D

door, singing

G

But will my

C

voice ever be loud enough, or my

D

words be so clear

that the

Em

whole world can hear me like I’m

G

listening to you here?

Can

C

one Northern son

D

shake awake a nation so numb

that we’re

Em

hiding in our headphones

and we’re

G

drowning in our beer, yeah

C

cowering in fear

and

D

losing our ability to

G

hear?

And the

C

children on the streets are playing,

while the

D

killer’s on the corner praying

on the

Em

weak and the lonely hide in their heads

and the brave they die in their beds

C

and the mad are making their plans

D

and the rich are washing their hands

Em

and the bosses crack their whips

G

while the strippers shake their hips

C

but I can’t keep a track of it all

D

cos there’s a voice coming on so strong

Em

Shaking windows, rattling the walls

G

It’s the sound of the girl next

C

door,

D

singing

G

Singing

C

Goldenheart, no,

D

don’t let me down

Singing I

Em

need you, yeah,

G

I need you around

Singing that you

C

fit me,

D

so perfectly

Em

G

Me,

C

and the girl next

D

door, singing

G
