C
C
Crashed on the floor when I moved in This little bungalow with some strange new friends
C
-Stay- up too late, and I'm too thinWe promise each other it's 'til the end
Am
-Now we're- spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us With pretty eyed-boys girls die to trust
G
-I- can't resist the day--no, I can't resist the day...[Verse]
C
Jenny screams out and it's no pose'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
C
Beer through the nose on an inside jokeI'm so excited, I haven't spoken
Am
-And- she's so pretty, and she's so sureMaybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
G
Summer's all in bloom Summer's ending soon...
[Chorus]
F Am G -It's all-right, and it's nice not to be so alone F Am G F But I hold on to your secrets in C Am G C White hou-ses
[Verse]
C
Maybe I'm a little bit over my headI come undone at the things he said
C
-And- he's so funny in his bright red shirtWe were all in love, and we all got hurt
Am
-I- sneak into his car's cracked leather seatThe smell of gasoline in the summer heat,
G
-Boy, we're- going way too fastIt's all too sweet to last...
[Chorus]
F Am G -It's all-right, and I put myself in his hands F Am G F But I hold on to his secrets in C Am G White hou-ses F Am G Love, or something ignites in my veins F Am G F And I pray it never fades, in C Am G White hou-ses
[Bridge]
F C Am G My first time, hard to explain F C Am G Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain F C Am G On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think F C Am G C He's my first mistake...
[Interlude]
C C Am G
[Verse]
C
Maybe you were all faster than meWe gave each other up so easily
C
-These- silly little wounds will never mendI feel so far from where I've been...
[Chorus]
F Am G -So I- go, and I will not be back here again F Am G F I'm gone as the day is fading, on C Am G White hou-ses F Am G -I- lied, wrote my injuries all the in dust F Am G F In my heart it's the five of us, in C Am G White hou-ses F Am G -And- you, maybe you'll remember me F Am G F What I gave is yours to keep, in C Am G F F White hou-ses, in C Am G F F White hou-ses, in C Am G C White hou-ses...
