Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  static  comes in slow
 You can feel it grow
 Our stream of conscience flows
 Under the streets below
(Oohs)
The  rivers  made of sound
 Still running underground
 Runs like a silent flood
 We run as thick as blood
 Can you hear it rise,  Up from the ground
 Can't drown it out,  Can you hear it now
 - Chorus –
 This is the sound  of a heartbeat
 This is the sound from the discontented mouths
 Of a haunted nation
We  are the voice of breaking
 Down,  Can you hear me?
 This is the sound of the desperation bound
 By our own collision
We  are the voice of breaking
 Down
The  static  comes alive
 Beneath the broken skies
 John Perkins said it right
 Love is the final fight
(Oohs)
 Let it rise above,  Rise above
 There is no song,  Louder than love
 - Chorus –
 This is the sound  of a heartbeat
 This is the sound from the discontented mouths
 Of a haunted nation
We  are the voice of breaking
 Down,  Can you hear me?
 This is the sound of the desperation bound
 By our own collision
We  are the voice of breaking
 Down
 (This is the part where it gets quiet and then the solo comes in before a
 third prechorus. If you are chording here just continue the Dsus2 D7sus2
 combo for the whole thing.)
 Let it rise above,  Rise above
 There is no song,  Louder than love
 - Chorus –
 This is the sound  of a heartbeat
 This is the sound from the discontented mouths
 Of a haunted nation
We  are the voice of breaking
 Down,  Can you hear me?
 This is the sound of the desperation bound
 By our own collision
We  are the voice of breaking
 Down
