Sleeping at Last – Earth (Guitar)

  F#m
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,

D
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,

E
Brush off the dirt

           F#m
And let my change of heart occur.

F#m
Sold soon after the appraisal,

    D
The hammer struck the auction table

E                              F#m
Louder than anything I've ever heard.

D                                 E
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,

    A               D
But I put it out of my mind

                       E
Long enough to call it courage

   A              D
To live without a lifeline.

E           A            D
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,

                      E
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

F#m
Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter,

    D
The sparks send the fire down the wire,

  E
A countdown begins,

          F#m
Until the dynamite gives in.

    F#m
The echo, as wide as the equator,

D                                   E
Travels through a world of built up anger,

                                 F#m
Too late to pull itself together now.

D                                 E
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,

    A               D
But I put it out of my mind

                       E
Long enough to call it courage

   A              D
To live without a lifeline.

E           A            D
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,

                      E
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

F#m                D   
 There was an earthquake.

A D                A         D
   There was an avalanche of change.

F#m          D
 We were so afraid,

A D                     A    E
   We cried ourselves a hurricane.

F#m             D
 There were floods,

                A    D
And tidal waves over us,

              A         D
We folded our hands and prayed.

F#m         D
 Like a domino,

               A        D
These wildfires grow and grow

                  A           E
Until a brand new world takes shape.

D                                 E
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,

    A               D
But I put it out of my mind

                       E
Long enough to call it courage

   A              D
To live without a lifeline.

E           A            D
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,

                      E          A
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

D                     E          A
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

D                     E          A
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
