White Houses Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Crashed on the floor
when I moved in
This little bungalow
with some strange new friends
Stay [Em]up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're [Am]spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I [G]can't resist the day

[Verse 2]
No, I can't resist the day
[C]Jenny screams out and it's no pose
Cause when she dances
she goes and goes
And [Em]beer through the nose on an inside joke
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And [Am]she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The [G]summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

[Chorus 1]
It's al[F]right and it's [Am]nice not to [G]be so a[F]lone
But I [Am]hold [G]on to your [F]secrets
in [C]white [Am]house[G]s[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And [Em]he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I [Am]sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're [G]going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last

[Chorus 2]
It's al[F]right
And I [Am]put my[G]self in his [F]hands
But I [Am]hold [G]on to your [F]secrets
in [C]white [Am]house[G]s
[F]Love, or [Am]something ig[G]nites in my [F]veins
And I [Am]pray it [G]never [F]fades
in [C]white [Am]house[G]s

[Bridge 1]
[F]My [C]fir[Am]st tim[G]e,
hard to ex[F]plain
Rush of [C]blood, [Am]oh,
and a [G]little bit of [F]pain
On a [C]cloudy day,
[Am]it's more comm[G]on than you thin[F]k
[C]He's [Am]my fi[G]rst

[Interlude 1]
(mis[C]take)[C][C][Em][Em]

[G][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These [G]silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been

[Chorus 3]
So I [F]go, and I [Am]will not be [G]back here a[F]gain
I'm [Am]gone as the [G]day is [F]fading
on [C]white [Am]house[G]s
I [F]lie, put my [Am]injuries [G]all in the [F]dust
In my [Am]heart is the [G]five of [F]us
In [C]white [Am]house[G]s
And [F]you, maybe [Am]you'll re[G]member [F]me
What I [Am]gave is [G]yours to [F]keep
In [C]white [Am]house[G]s[F]
In [C]white [Am]house[G]s[F]
In [C]white [Am]house[G]s[C]
