Ringing in My Head

(Key: E Minor)
(Tempo: Mid-tempo, steady, gritty)

[Verse 1]

Em
I hear the sound when the night falls low,
D
Ghosts of the past in a broken row,
C
Words I said, tears I bled,
B7
Still ringing, ringing in my head.

[Verse 2]

Em
Footsteps echo on an empty street,

Every silence just repeats,
C
Mistakes I made, things I left unsaid,
B7
Still ringing, ringing in my head.

[Chorus]

C G
Ringing like a freight train down the track,
D Em
Ringing like a bell that won’t ring back,
C G
Every goodbye, every tear I shed,
D Em
Still ringing in my head.

[Verse 3]

Em
Morning light can’t wash it away,
D
Coffee’s strong but the ache still stays,
C
Regrets like a song I can't forget,
B7
Still ringing, ringing in my head.

[Chorus]

C G
Ringing like a freight train down the track,
D Em
Ringing like a bell that won’t ring back,
C G
Every goodbye, every tear I shed,
D Em
Still ringing in my head.

[Bridge]

C D
Sometimes I smile and pretend it's gone,
Em G
Sometimes it hits me like a storm,
C D
No matter how far I’ve fled,
Am B7
It keeps on ringing in my head.

[Final Chorus]

C G
Ringing like a freight train down the track,
D Em
Ringing like a bell that won’t ring back,
C G
Every goodbye, every tear I shed,
D Em
Still ringing in my head.

[Outro]

D Em
Still ringing in my head...

🎸 Musical Feel:
Crunchy electric guitar, gritty bassline pulsing underneath.
Simple stomping drumbeat, almost like walking in boots.
Vocals smoky and worn, but still defiant.
