Full Song
Verse 1
G
Well, it sounds like a screen door slammin’ shut
C G
It sounds like a whiskey pour
D Em C G
It sounds like a prayer for things you ain’t got yet
D G
And a knockin’ at your door
G
It sounds like a diesel engine turnin’ over
C G
It sounds like a distant train
D Em C G
It sounds like a promise that you know you should keep
D G
In the pourin’ rain
Chorus
C G D
And it sounds like truth, it sounds like trouble
C G D
It sounds like someone tryin’ their best
C G D
It sounds like heaven, it sounds like hell
C G D
It sounds like gettin’ things off your chest
C G D
It sounds like gettin’ things off your chest
Verse 2
G
It sounds like a backroad on a Sunday evenin’
C G
It sounds like a telephone call
D Em C G
It sounds like a man who’s tired of talkin’
D G
So he don’t talk at all
G
It sounds like a mother cryin’ for her children
C G
It sounds like a father’s pride
D Em C G
It sounds like the reason that you wake up each day
D G
With the sun in your eyes
Chorus
C G D
And it sounds like truth, it sounds like trouble
C G D
It sounds like someone tryin’ their best
C G D
It sounds like heaven, it sounds like hell
C G D
It sounds like gettin’ things off your chest
C G D
It sounds like gettin’ things off your chest
Bridge
Em C G
It sounds like a memory you can’t shake
Em C G
It sounds like a good and a bad break
Em C G
It sounds like a song you can’t forget
D G C
It sounds like a little bit of regret
Verse 3
G
It sounds like the highway when you’re leavin’ home
C G
It sounds like a welcome back
D Em C G
It sounds like a truth that you finally know
D G
That you can’t take back
G
It sounds like a quiet night with someone you love
C G
It sounds like a long goodbye
D Em C G
It sounds like the reason you ain’t afraid to die
D G
And the reason you’re alive
Chorus
C G D
And it sounds like truth, it sounds like trouble
C G D
It sounds like someone tryin’ their best
C G D
It sounds like heaven, it sounds like hell
