Verse 3:
B F#
Playing on your radio, coming through your stereo
Gm
And everybody's getting down
B F#
You can't seem to let it go, running like a video
Gm
You're haunted by the weight of sound
B F# Gm
In your eyes, you focus on the light
B F# Gm
And for tonight, just relax and let's get high
B F#
The sun it is a sinking low, I'm thinking that it's time to go
Gm
And everybody's headed home
B F#
Watch them as they come and go, listen to your soul it knows
Gm
Can you feel the weight of sound?
B F# Gm
It's just love there's nothing that's more real
B F# Gm
This love, and the way it makes you feel
