Verse:
 
G             Bb           F                C
I’m awake and you’re asleep, brick house is breathing, breathing
G            Bb          F               C
Lying in the castle deep, sink down, I’m dreaming, dreaming
G           Bb              F               C
Skin cold against the sheets, deep south is freezing, freezing
F           C
And now I’m freezing
 
 
Chorus:
 
G       Bb    F                  C
Hold on to me, it’s the sound of leaving
G       Bb    F                    C
Hold on to me, that’s the sound of leaving
 
 
Verse:
 
G          Bb          F              C
Slip out into the stars, smoke saddle in your pocket
G           Bb         F                     C
Suitcase is in your car, you don’t stop, you just can’t stop it
G        Bb      F                C
Someday, somehow, you’ll remember when you lost it
F           C
The day you lost it
 
 
Chorus:
 
G       Bb    F                  C
Hold on to me, it’s the sound of leaving, leaving
G       Bb    F                  C
Hold on to me, it's the sound of leaving, leaving
F          C
That’s the sound

Bridge:
 
G           Bb               F          C
Pinned down against your will, feel the planets rearranging
G          Bb         F                  C
I lie here very still, the tiny whispers, the shiny whispers
G      Bb     F                      C
Oh no, oh wow, the earth beneath our feet is shaking
F              C
And now you’re breaking
G       Bb    F        C
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
 
G       Bb    F                    C
Hold on to me, that’s the sound of leaving

                  That's the sound
 
G    F  C  G  F                 C
Hold on to me, that's the sound
Hold on to me, that's the sound
Hold on to me, that's the sound
Hold on to me, that's the sound
Hold on to me, that's the sound
