[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
Show me all the cards you
                    Fmaj7  D/F#
 hold close to your chest
Cmaj7
I'll take all the parts of
 you your loved ones
    Fmaj7  D/F#
detest
Cmaj7
Find me, I'm inside
                        Fmaj7
your insides, it might help
  D/F#
Cmaj7
In front of my eyes as
                Fmaj7  D/F#
I talk to myself

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                    G
What's the point of a friend?
          Cmaj7   Em         Am
If you're on your own in the end
Fmaj7          G
With you, with them
     Cmaj7        Em    Am
I'd go through it all again
Fmaj7      G              Cmaj7
I'd quite like to go home now

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
I'll make an attempt
                          Fmaj7
Knowing that I'll fuck it up
    D/F#
(If only you would pick me now)
Cmaj7
Hold me in contempt
                         Fmaj7
'Cause I don't wanna interrupt
         D/F#
(There's pretty ways
to turn me down)

[Chorus]
Fmaj7                    G
What's the point of a friend?
          Cmaj7   Em         Am
If you're on your own in the end
Fmaj7          G
With you, with them
     Cmaj7        Em    Am
I'd go through it all again
Fmaj7      G              Cmaj7
I'd quite like to go home now

[Outro]
Fmaj7
I'd quite like, I'd quite like
Am                 A7
With no-one asking how or why
Dm7        G              Cmaj7
I'd quite like to go home now

How to play White Noise: key, chords and progression

Most of the song cycles through Cmaj7 – Fmaj7 – D/F# – Cmaj7 (Imaj7 – IVmaj7 – II – Imaj7 in C major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – reh – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
