G
Sons of the silent age
F
Stand on platforms blank looks and note books
G
Sit in back rows of city limits
        F
Lay in bed coming and going on easy terms

Sons of the silent age
Pace their rooms like a cell's dimension
Rise for a year or two then make war
Search through their one inch thoughts
Then decide it couldn't be done

Chorus:
D#          D             C#
Baby, I'll never let you go
       C            G#
All I see is all I know
            A#          D#
Let's take another way down
(sons of sound and sons of sound)
                  D             C#
Baby, baby, I'll never let you down
          C            G#
I can't stand another sound
            A#         D#
Let's find another way in
(sons of sound and sons of sound)

Sons of the silent age
Listen to tracks by Sam Therapy and King Dice
Sons of the silent age
They pick up in bars and cry only once

Sons of the silent age
Make love only once but dream and dream
They don't walk, they just glide in and out of life
They never die, they just go to sleep one day

Chorus
B
(Sons of sound and sons of sound)
                G#          D#
Baby, baby, baby, fire away!
