Sleeping at Last – Earth (Ukulele)

  Am
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,

F
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,

G
Brush off the dirt

           Am
And let my change of heart occur.

Am
Sold soon after the appraisal,

    F
The hammer struck the auction table

G                              Am
Louder than anything I've ever heard.

F                                 G
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,

    C        Em       F
But I put it out of my mind

                       G
Long enough to call it courage

   C      Em        F
To live without a lifeline.

G           C    Em        F
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,

Dm                    G
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

Am
Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter,

    F
The sparks send the fire down the wire,

  G
A countdown begins,

          Am
Until the dynamite gives in.

    Am
The echo, as wide as the equator,

F                                   G
Travels through a world of built up anger,

                                 Am
Too late to pull itself together now.

F                                 G
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,

    C        Em       F
But I put it out of my mind

                       G
Long enough to call it courage

   C      Em        F
To live without a lifeline.

G           C    Em        F
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,

Dm                    G
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

Am                F   
 There was an earthquake.

C                            Em
   There was an avalanche of change.

Am          F
 We were so afraid,

C                            G
   We cried ourselves a hurricane.

Am                 F
 There were floods,

                      Dm
And tidal waves over us,

                        Em
We folded our hands and prayed.

Am         F
 Like a domino,

                              C
These wildfires they grow and grow

                                G
Until a brand new world takes shape.

F                                 G
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,

    C        Em       F
But I put it out of my mind

                       G
Long enough to call it courage

   C      Em        F
To live without a lifeline.

G           C    Em        F
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,

Dm                    G         C Em F
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

Dm                     G          C Em F
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

Dm                    Am
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
