The Sound Of Settling

By Death Cab for Cutie

Key of G

[Verse]
G              D
I've got a hunger
Am            C
Twisting my stomach into knots
G        D              Am      C
That my tongue has tied off

G                 D
My brains repeating
Am               C
If you've got an impulse let it out
G        D             Am      C
But they never make it past my mouth


[Chorus]
G       G/A
Bap ba, Bop ba
D           C
This is the sound of settling
G       G/A    D      C
Bop ba, bob pa
(x2)


[Interlude]
G    D       Am      C
(x2)


[Verse 2]
G              D
Our youth is fleeting,
Am          C
Old age is just around the bend.
G      D          Am    C
  And I can't wait to go gray.

G               D
And I'll sit and wonder
Am        C
 Of every love that could've been.
G           D                    Am          C
 If I'd only thought of something charming to say.


CHORUS(x4)

G          D
I've got a hunger
Am          C
Twisting my stomach into knots
