I [Am]dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
[F]Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
[G]Brush off the dirt
And let my [Am]change of heart occur.
[Am]Sold soon after the appraisal,
The [F]hammer struck the auction table
[G]Louder than anything I've ever [Am]heard.
[F]Fault lines tremble underneath my [G]glass house,
But [C]I put it out of [F]my mind
Long enough to call it [G]courage
To [C]live without a [F]lifeline.
I bend the definition
[G]Of faith to [C]exonerate my [F]blind eye,
'Til the sirens sound,[G]sound, I'm safe.
[Am]Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter,
The [F]sparks send the fire down the wire,
A [G]countdown begins,
Until the [Am]dynamite gives in.
The [Am]echo, as wide as the equator,
[F]Travels through a world of built up [G]anger,
Too late to pull itself together [Am]now.
[F]Fault lines tremble underneath my [G]glass house,
But [C]I put it out of [F]my mind
Long enough to call it [G]courage
To [C]live without a [F]lifeline.
I bend the definition
[G]Of faith to [C]exonerate my [F]blind eye,
'Til the sirens sound,[G]sound, I'm safe.
[Am] There was an eart[F]earthquake.
[C] [F] There was an ava[C]avalanche of [F]change.
[Am] We were so [F]afraid,
[C] [F] We cried ourselves a [C]hurri[G]hurricane.
[Am] There were flo[F]floods,
And tidal waves [C]over [F]us,
We folded our [C]hands and [F]prayed.
[Am] Like a dom[F]domino,
These wildfires[C]wildfires grow and[F]and grow
Until a brand new [C]world takes [G]shape.
[G] [Em] [F] [G]
[F]Fault lines tremble underneath my [G]glass house,
But [C]I put it out of [F]my mind
Long enough to call it [G]courage
To [C]live without a [F]lifeline.
I bend the definition
[G]Of faith to [C]exonerate my [F]blind eye,
'Til the sirens sound,[G]sound, I'm safe. [C]
[F]'Til the sirens sound,[G]sound, I'm safe. [C]
