Chorus:
C
Crashed on the
floor when I moved
in
This little
bungalow with some
strange new
friends
C/B
(Stay) up too late,
and I'm too thin
We 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 2-
C
Jenny screams out
and it's no pose
'Cause when she
dances she goes and
goes
C/B
Beer through the
nose on an inside
joke
I'm so excited, I
haven't spoken
Am
(And) she's so
pretty, and she's so
sure
Maybe 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 al)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
(hold for 1 measure,
then proceed to
verse 3)
White hou-ses
Verse 3-
C
Maybe I'm a little
bit over my head
I come undone at
the things he
said
C/B
(And) he's so funny
in his bright red
shirt
We were all in
love, and we all got
hurt
Am
(I) sneak into his
car's cracked
leather seat
The smell of
gasoline in the
summer heat,
G
(Boy, we're) going
way too fast
It's all too sweet
to last...
CHORUS 2-
F
Am G
(It's al)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 (hold for
1 measure, then
proceed to
instr.)
He's my first
mistake...
Instrumental-
C C/B Am G
*the instrumental
follows the same
chords as the
verses, though where
the verses play
the chords for two
measures, each chord
in the intrumental
is played for only 1
measure*
Verse 4-
C
Maybe you were all
faster than me
We gave each other
up so easily
C/B
(These) silly
little wounds will
never mend
I feel so far from
where I've
been...
CHORUS 3-
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

What I gave is
yours to keep, in
C Am G F

White hou-ses,
in

White hou-ses,
in
C Am G2

White hou-ses... |
