Chords for Vanessa Carlton - White Houses (Official Video)

[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 promised each other it's till the end
Now [Am] we're spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us
But pretty-eyed boys, girls die to trust
[G] I can't resist the day
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 be it through the night, it's an inside joke
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
[Am] She's so pretty and she's so short
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
[C] _ [G] Summer's all in bloom
_ And summer is ending [C] [G] soon
It's [F] my life [Am] and it's nice [G] not to be so [F] alone
[Am] But I [G] hold on to [F] _ secrets in [Am] white [G] houses
[C] _ _ Maybe _ I was over my head
I come on _ out to things he said
[G] And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in and we all got hurt
[B] I sneak [Am] into his car's black leather seat
The smell of gasoline in summer heat
[G] Boy, we're going way too _ fast
It's all too sweet to lie _
[F] _ _ And [Am] I put [G] myself in [F] his hands
But [Am] I [G] hold on to [F] _ secrets [C] in white [A] _ [G]
[F] houses
Love or something [G] ignites in [F] my veins
And I pray [G] it never [F] _ fades
In [C] white [Am] _ [G]
[F] houses
_ My [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [G] time's [C] hard to stay
Rush of light, [Am] oh
_ And [C] a little bit [F] of pain on [C] a cloudy _ [Am] day
_ It's [G] more common than [F] you think
Mm, [C] _ _ my [Am] _ life, but [G] it's _ _
[C] _ safe _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
Faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
[Em] And silly little words we ferment
[G] [Em] I feel so [G] far from where I've been
So [F] I go _
[Am] And I will not [G] be back [F] here again _
[A] I'm gone [G] as the day [F] is fading _
[C] On [G] white [F] houses I lie
Load [Am] my [G] injuries all [F] in the dust
In my heart is [G] the five [F] of _ us
[C] In white [Am] [G] houses
[F] You, _ [Am] maybe you'll [C] remember [F] _ me
What I gave [G] is yours [F] to keep
[C] In white houses
[F] _ In _ [Am] white [G] houses
[F] _ _ In [C] _ white [G] houses
_ _ [C] _ _
