White Houses

(C)Crashed on the floor when I moved in.

This little bungalow with some strange new friends.

Stay up too late and I'm too thin.

We promise each other it's till the end.

Now we're (Am9)spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us

with prettyeyed boys girls die to trust.

I (Gsus)can't resist (G)the day.

(G)No, I (G6)can't resist (G)the day.

(G)And (C)Jenny screams out and it's no pose,

'cause when she dances she goes and goes.

And beer through the nose on an inside joke.

And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken.

And (Am9)she's so pretty and she's so sure.

Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her.

(Gsus)Summer's all (G)in bloom.

(G)The (Gsus)summer's (G)ending soon.

(G)It's (F5)alright and it's (A5)nice not to (G5)be so (F5)alone

but I (A5)hold (G5)on to her (F5)secrets in (C5)white (A5)(G5)houses.

(C)Maybe I'm a little bit over my head.

I come undone at the things he said.

And he's so funny in his bright red shirt.

We were all in love and we all got hurt.

I (Am9)sneak into his car's black leather seat.

The smell of gasoline in the summer heat.

Boy, we're (Gsus)goin' way (G)too fast.

(G)It's (Gsus)all too sweet (G)to last.

(G)It's alright (F5)and I (A5)put my be (G5)self in his (F5)hands.

But I (A5)hold as the (G5)on to his (F5)secrets in (G5)white houses.

I (A5)Love, put or something (G5)ignites in my (F5)veins

and I (A5)pray it the (G5)never (F5)fades

in (C5)white (A5)(G5)houses.

(F)My (C)first (Am9)time,

(G)hard to explain.

(F)Rush of blood,

(C)oh, (Am9)and a (G)little bit of pain.

(F)On a (C)cloudy day,

(Am9)it's more (G)common than you think.

(F)He's (C)my (Am9)first

(G)mistake.

(C)Maybe you were all faster than me.
