sleep , sleep with the lights on
C#
shuttered with shades drawn
C#
there’s too many windows

C#
noise
C#
cars on the freeway
C#
tempting a clean break
C#
but there’s nowhere left to go
C#
watching the roots weave
C#
through cracks in the concrete

A B
plates , they will shift
B – A A
houses will shake
A C#
fences will drift
C# – B E
we will awake
A B
only to find
B – A A
nothing’s the same
A C#
nothing’s the same

C# C# – B – C#
home , home is a fire ,
C#
a burning reminder
C# C# – B – E – C#
of where we belong , love

C#
with walls built up around us
C#
the bricks make me nervous
C#
they’re only so strong , love
C#
yes they’re only so strong , love
