The xx - A Violent Noise: chords

G#                    D#
If I'm beating every hand away
         G#
No one stays
             Cm
I've got so cautious
G#                       D#
And now I trip on every move I make
         Fm
Let one play
            Cm
To be that careless

           D#
With every kiss from a friend
          Fm            Cm
With everything I pretend not to feel
     D#
Am I too high? Am I too proud?
       Fm            Cm
Is the music too loud for me to hear?

Chorus:
G#        A#
Now I go out
          Cm
But every beat is a violent noise
G#       A#
Dries my eye
           Cm
With every beat comes a violent noise
G#          A#
The melody sung
G#
And I don't know the voice
G#       A#
Now I go out
           Cm
But every beat is a violent noise

You've been staying out late
Trying your best to escape
I hope you find what you're looking for
Let a moment take place
Without running away
I hope you silence the noise

           G#
How could eyes this wide
                Cm
Lose sight of a world outside?
              A#
I've looked away, cowardice

With every kiss from a friend
With everything I pretend not to feel
Am I too high? Am I too proud?
Is the music too loud… for me to hear?

Chorus
