[C]Dad's stuck in the factory, machines are [G]banging all around,
[C]Momma's in the kitchen, she got the [G]radio on all the time.
My [C]little sister's screaming, and [G]stamping on the ground,
And the [C]radio keeps [D]pumping out the [C]same old boring [D]sound.

[G]All I hear is noise. [C]      [G]Can't get away from the [C]noise.
[G]Can you hear me above the [C]noise?
[D]Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?

[G]Can you hear the noise? [C](Noise) [G]Can't get away from the noise. [C](Noise)
[G]Can you hear me above the noise? [C](Noise)
[D]Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?

[C]Banging in my ears, in [G]every direction,
[C]Listen to the roar, hear that [G]city poundin', poundin'.
There [C]oughta be a law, hey buddy, [G]turn that radio down,
Some[C]times I get [D]used to it and I for[C]get that it's a[D]round.

[G]But all I hear is noise. [C](Noise) [G]Can't get away from noise. [C](Noise)
[G]Can you hear me above the noise? [C](Noise)

[C]All of this con[G]fusion is [C]ruining my [G]day,
Let the [C]noise be like the [G]sunset and [C]slowly fade a[G]way, [C]Fad[G]ing, [C]fade.

[C]Girl, I want to build a better [G]world for me and you,
I wanna [C]pull out all the plugs before I [G]finally blow my fuse.
[C]Wish all the confusion would [G]slowly fade away,
I'd [C]tell you that I [D]love you, but you [C]don't hear what I [D]say.

[G]All you hear is noise. [C]     [G]Can't get away from the [C]noise.
[G]Can you hear me above the [C]noise?
[D]Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you hear me?

{c:(Solo: over verse)}

[C]Noise in the street, they're [G]digging up the pavement,
[C]Noise in the air, those [G]traffic jams are everywhere.
[C]Noise on noise, to [G]cover up the noise,
The [C]pressure's building [D]up because there's [C]no way to a[D]void

[G]All the noise. [C](Noise) [G]Can't get away from the noise. [C](Noise)
[G]Can you hear me above the noise? [C](Noise)  [D]

[C]All of this con[G]fusion is [C]ruining my [G]day,
Let the [C]noise be like the [G]sunset and [C]slowly fade a[G]way, [C]Fad[G]ing, [C]fade.
