Lyrics

[Verse 1]
E                 F#m            A
 I've got a hunger   twisting my stomach into knots
E
 That my tongue has tied off
F#m A E                     F#m                  A
       My brain's repeating,   "If you've got an impulse,
let it out"
E                       F#m          A
 But they never make it past my mouth

[Chorus]
E6
  Bop bah,
E Bsus4            Asus2
       this is the sound of settling
E6        E       Bsus4 Asus2
  Bop bah, bop bah
E6
  Bop bah,
E Bsus4            Asus2
       this is the sound of settling
E6        E       Bsus4 Asus2
  Bop bah, bop bah

[Verse 2]
E
 Our youth is fleeting,
F#m           A                   E
   old age is just around the bend
                      F#m
And I can't wait to go   grey
A
E                       F#m         A
 And I'll sit and wonder   of every love that could've been
E                                 F#m            A
 If I'd only thought of something charming to say

[Chorus]
E6
Bop bah,
E   Bsus4             Asus2
this     is the sound of   settling
   E6     E      Bsus4
Bop  bah, bop bah
Asus2 E6
Bop     bah,
E   Bsus4             Asus2
this     is the sound of   settling
   E6     E      Bsus4 Asus2
Bop  bah, bop bah

[Post-Chorus]

        F#m            A

 Bop bah, bop bah

F#m            A
