Lyrics

Hear the (Ebsus2)si rens,

Hear the (Csus)si rens.

Hear the (Ebsus2)si rens,

hear the (Ebsus2)cir cus so pro found.

I (Eb)sound hear the (Ebsus2)si rens

more and (Ebsus2)more in this here town.

Let me (Bb)catch my breath to breathe (F)and reach (Eb)a cross the (Gm7)bed.

Just to know we’re safe, I (F)am a grate ful (Cm)man.

The (Bb)slight est bit of light (F)and I (Eb)can see you (Gm7)clear.

Oh,

have to take your hand and (Eb)feel your breath, for fear think this some day will be o ver.

I pull you close, so much to lose, know ing that noth ing lasts ver for ev er.

I did n’t care

be fore you were here.

I danced in laugh ter with the ev er af ter.

But all y things change,

let this re main.

Hear the (Ebsus2)si rens

cov ’ring (Ebsus2)dis tance in the night.

The (Eb)sound ech o (Ebsus2)in’ er.

Will they (Ebsus2)come for me next time?

Oh, me (Bb)ev ’ry choice, mis take (F)I’ve made, (Eb)it’s not my (Gm7)plan

to send you in the arms (F)of an oth er (Cm)man.

And (Bb)if you choose to stay, (F)I’ll wait, (Eb)I’ll un der (Gm7)stand.

Oh,

it’s a frag ile thing, this (Eb)life we lead.

If I think too much, I can get o ver

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes. The original is in Eb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Sirens" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
