Speed Of Sound

[A] [Em] [D] [A] [Em] [D]

how [A]long before I get [Em]in
before it starts, before I be[D]gin
how [A]long before you de[Em]cide
before I know what it feels li[D]ke
where [A]to, where do I go [Em]
if you never tried then you'll never kn[D]ow
how [A]long do I have to cli[Em]mb
up on this side of this mountain of min[D]e

[A] [Em] [D] [A] [Em] [D]

look [A]up, I look up at nig[Em]ht
planets are moving at the speed of lig[D]ht
come [A]up, up in the tre[Em]es
every chance that you get is a chance you seiz[D]e
how [A]long am I can sta[Em]nd
with my head stuck under the [D]sand
I'll [A]start before I can st[Em]op
or before I see things the right way u[D]p

[G]   all that [A]noise, all that soun[Bm]d
[G]  all those pl[A]aces that i got f[Bm]ound

and [G]birds go flying at the [Bm]speed of sound
to [D]show how it all be[G]gan
[G]birds come flying from the [Bm]underground
if you could [F#m]see it then you'd understand[G]

[A] [Em] [D] [A] [Em] [D]

id[A]eas that you'll never fi[Em]nd
all the inventors could never desi[D]gn
the [A]buildings that you put u[Em]p
Japan and China all lit up[D]
the [A]sign that I couldn't rea[Em]d
all the light that I couldn't se[D]e
some[A]things you have to believe[Em]
but others are puzzles, puzzling me[D]

[G]   all that [A]noise, all that soun[Bm]d
[G]  all those pl[A]aces that i got f[Bm]ound

[D]

[G] all those signs[A]   I knew what they mean[Bm]t
something you [Ddim]can't invent
[G] Some get made,[A]  and some get sent[Bm]
[Ddim]ooh

Oh when you [F#m]see it then you'll under[G]stand
