[Intro]
D D G G
[Verse]
G G7
It sounds like a mad heard of elephants
C G
Just trampled right through our front room
G
And added to that a wild heard of horses
A7 D D7
Stampeding through the dark dreary gloom
G G7
But it's only the beating of a sad aching heart
C G
Combined with the falling of tears
[Chorus]
C G
Ain't it strange how the mind exaggerates little sounds
D G G7
That pride covered ears barely hear
[Bridge]
C D G
I hear a time bomb loudly ticking away
C D G
Any minute it's going to explode
C D G
But it's really just the clock on the wall down the hall
A7 D D7
Counting seconds till you walk out the door
[Verse]
G G7
And it sounds like a man is screaming for his life
C G
But it's really just me whispering please stay dear
[Chorus]
C G
Ain't it strange how the mind exaggerates little sounds
D G
That pride covered ears barely hear
