I grew up in a house like this, you knew the groan of every stare.
All the walls seemed to listen in, all the ears seemed to take a bit.
[D]
When you dreamed it [E] was of the wind, [D] _
glowing [E] cold and [C#m] hard.
_ [D]

_ _ _ I grew up in a town like this, you knew the names of every street.

_ [C#m] scars.
[D] _ God forbid [A] if word [C#m] got [Bm] out about your [E] house of cards.
