Earth chords by Sleeping At Last

Chords with lyrics

B minorBm
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
 G+G
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
 A augmentedA
Brush off the dirt
       B minorBm
And let my change of heart occur.

 B minorBm
Sold soon after the appraisal,
   G+G
The hammer struck the auction table
 A augmentedA               B minorBm
Louder than anything I've ever heard.

 G+G                 A augmentedA
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
          G+G
But I put it out of my mind
            A augmentedA
Long enough to call it courage
          G+G
To live without a lifeline.

I bend the definition
A augmentedA             G+G
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
           A augmentedA
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

B minorBm
Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter.
   G+G
The sparks send the fire down the wire,
  A augmentedA
A majorA countdown begins,
      B minorBm
Until the dynamite gives in.

   B minorBm
The echo, as wide as the equator,
G+G                  A augmentedA
Travels through a world of built up anger-
                 B minorBm
Too late to pull itself together now.

--- G+G - A augmentedA ---
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline.
I bend the definition
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
