I can no longer hear, aw-aw CM CM
EmCEmDEm
The sound of a million hearts
EmCDEm
Beating together as one CM CM
EmCEmDEm
And when the night is gone, aw-aw CM CM
EmCEmDEm
And when the dawn has come, aw-aw CM CM
EmCEmDEm
I will take the daylight on
EmCDEm
My cheeks will dry off in the sun CM ..

Part 2:
Part 2 introduction, guitar part (same as the ba-ba part):
EmDE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------0--------2---2--------------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-2-2---4-2--0---0----------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Part 2 introduction, bass part, tuned to Drop D tuning:
EmDE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------0-2-0--------------0------------------------------------------|
D|-----2-2---5------5-2---0-0-4-5---5-4-0------------------------------------|
There is probably a way to play it in Standard tuning.
Beats me, though. Intro ends acapella.
..ba-ba-ba-BA, ba-da dum Dum dum Dum
EmD
..ba-ba-ba-BA, ba-da dum Dum dum Dum
EmD
Ba ba ba ba, ba-da ba ba ba ba, ba-da ba ba ba ba, ba-da bum

(Although really, you should not be playing instruments at all by this part and it might
weird if you do.
Play at your own risk!
The song you once knew might be drastically different.
Try just singing the bass notes, the way the band does. Play with it)
Though my heart once was broke, it's been mended
EmEm/BC
And the sting of the fracture has ended
EmEm/BC
But still the sound of the hearts that are breaking
EmC
And boots that are knocking pervades
GD
Before the day that I first touched your face
EmC
Oh, the roar of these things filled my ears
GD
Then I embraced you and (made partly deaf)
EmC
I could just hear our breath as we breathed
GD
Up 'til that day I could hear them
EmEm/BC
And the sound as they broke, it was fearsome
EmEm/BC
That was until your arms opened up wide
EmC
And the treasure therein was made mine
GD
There is a noise that is taking their place
EmC
In the hollow of my inner ear
GD
It is far more than the sum of its parts
EmC
A white noise as warm as the sun
G D, D7, AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Part 3:
Now that I've found you dear
CG
Their plight has lost immediacy
DEm
And now that I've touched your face
CG
The noise fades from memory
DEm
I guess we'll forget the sound
CG
I guess, I guess
DEm
My cheeks will dry off in
CG
The sun, the sun
DEm
I guess we'll forget the sound
CG
I guess, I guess
DEm
