White Houses (For katy & Lara)

7 7 4 6 6 4 4 4
Crashed on the floor when I moved in

4 7 4 7 4 7 6 4
This lit-tle bun-ga-low with some

5 4 4
strange new friends

4 7 7 6 4 5 4 4
Stay up too late, and I’m too thin

4 7 4 7 6 4 6 5 5 4
We pro-mise each o-ther it’s til the end

-4 4 5 -3b 5 -3b 4 -3b
Now we’re spin-ning emp-ty bot-tles

4 -3b -3 -3 -3b
It’s the five of us

-3b 5 -3b 5 4 4 -3 -3 -3b
With pr�t-ty eyed boys girls die to trust

-3b 4 4 3 -3 3
I can’t re-sist the day

-3 3 5 5 3 -4 3
No, I can’t re-sist the day

* plays like verse 1
Jenny screams out and it’s no pose
‘Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I’m so excited, I haven’t spoken
And she’s so pretty, and she’s so sure
Maybe I’m more clever than a girl like her
The summer’s all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

3 -4 3 4 -4 -3b -5 5 3 4 -3 -2b
It’s al-right and it’s nice not to be so a-lone

4 -4 -3b 3 4 -4 4 -3b 3 4 -3b 3
But I hold on to your se-crets in white hou-ses

7 4 7 4 6 4 6 5 4 5 4
May-be I’m a lit-tle bit o-ver my head

4 7 7 6 6 4 5 4 4
I come un-done at the things he said

4 7 7 6 4 6 4 5 4 4
And he’s so fun-ny in his bright red shirt

-4 4 7 7 6 6 4 5 4 4
We were all in love and we all got hurt

4 5 -3b 5 -3b 4 4 -3b -3 -3b -3b
I sneak in-to his car’s crack-ed lea-ther seat

-3b 5 -3b 5 -3b 4 4 -3b -3 -3b -3b
The smell of ga-so-line in the sum-mer heat

4 -3b 4 3 3 3 3
Boy, we’re go-ing way too fast

3 5 5 3 -4 3
It’s all too sweet to last

3 -4 3
It’s al-right

4 -4 -3b -5 5 4 -3 -2b
And I put my-self in his hands

4 -4 -3b 3 4 -3 4 -3b 3 4 -3b 3
But I hold on to your sec-rets in white hou-ses

AS ABOVE

Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses

-3b 2 2 -1 -3b 3 -3b
My first time, hard to ex-plain

-2b -4 4 -3b -3b -4 5 3 4 -2b
Rush of blood, and a lit-tle bit of pain

4 -3b 4 -4 -4
On a clou-dy day,

-3b -3b -4 5 3 4 -2b
it’s more com-mon than you think

-2b 2 2 4 4
He’s my first mis-take

May-be you were all fas-ter than me (spoken)

We gave each other up so easily (spoken)

These silly little wounds will never mend (spoken)

I feel so far from where I’ve been So I (spoken)

-2b 4 -4 -3b -5 5 3 -3 -2b
go, and I will not be back a-gain

-4 -3b -5 5 3 4 4 -3b 3 4 -3b 3
I’m gone as the day is fad-ing on white hou-ses

-2b 4 -4 -3b -5 5 3 4 -3 -2b
lie, put my in-ju-ries all in the dust

4 -4 -3b -5 5 3 4 4
In my heart is the five of us

3 4 -3b 3
In white hou-ses

-2b -2b 4 -4 -3b -5 3 4 -2b
And you, may-be you’ll re-mem-ber me

4 -4 -3b -5 3 4 4
What I gave is yours to keep

3 4 -3b 3
In white hou-ses
