[Verse]
D
We bitch and we fight, diss each other on sight
Am
But this thing we do...
D
These times together, rain or shine or stormy weather
Am
This thing we do...
D
With world-weary grace we've taken our places
Am
We could curse it or nurse it and give it a name.
D
Or stay home by the fire
felled by desire, stoking the flame.
Am
But we're here for the ride.
[Chorus]

It's louder than words

This thing that we do
Louder than words

The strings bend and slide as the hours glide by

But this thing we do…
These times you get
Rain or shine or stormy weather,
This thing we do…
With world-weary grace

We could curse it or nurse it and give it a name
Or stay home by the fire
Failed by desire
Stoking the flames
But we’re here for the ride
Its Louder than words this thing that we do
Louder than words – the way it unfurls
Its louder than words – the sum of our parts
The beat of our hearts is louder than words
Louder than words

An old pair of shoes, your favorite blues, gonna tap out the rhythm
Let’s go with the flow

Its Louder than words this thing that we do
Louder than words – the way it unfurls
Its louder than words – the sum of our parts
The beat of our hearts is louder than words
Louder than words – this thing they call soul
Is there with a pulse louder than words
Louder than words"

version 4
The Intro is in key of E (then D). The Chords are
[x 11 11 8 0 0] = [x G# C# D# B E] = C#m9/G# C#m = [C# E G#] 7,9 = [B D#]
[x 9 9 8 0 0] = [x F# B D# B E] = Badd11/F# B = [B D# F#] 11 = [E]
[x 7 7 8 0 0] = [x E A D# B E] = Asus2add11+/E A = [A C# E] 2 = [B] 11# = [D#]
A nice sparse electric piano comes in at 0:17 (reminiscent of the intro to Time) which I have included
for guitar. Additionally a single chord strum is played at the beginning of each chord change.
The tuning here is standard, however the Gilmourish website states that an Ovation Custom Legend 1619-4
acoustic steel string guitar was used in 'Nashville Tuning' (ie lower 4 strings replaced with 12-string
set an octave higher than standard)
