Safe As Houses

Intro: Gbm E Gbm E

Gbm                                         E
I like looking at the sky as the wind plays through
                            Gbm               E
The skirts of the trees the silence knows how afraid we are of it
          A       Bm         Gbm       E            A
Cherished memories bleed and bloom our secrets like seeds
    Bm                   Gbm         E       A
get swept up and carried through our neighborhood


               D
Safe as houses tuck me in
A        Bm        E      Gbm          E
Daylight waits for no man you’re still young
                             Gbm
and breathing’s easy suck it in
       A          Bm   E
what a waste this facade
       A          E         Gbm
What a pity we’ve come this far

Interlude: Gbm E

Gbm                                            E
The rain will fall and baptize our strongholds our sheltered lives
       Gbm                             E
Closed blinds drawn curtains and vinyl floors can’t hide
        A          Bm      Gbm       E            A
Stained memories bleed and bloom our secrets like weeds
Bm               Gbm         E       A
Creeps up to the roof of our neighborhood


A              D
Safe as houses tuck me in
A        Bm        E      Gbm          E
Daylight waits for no man you’re still young
                             Gbm
and breathing’s easy suck it in
       A          Bm   E
What a waste this facade

Interlude: A E D Gbm

  E        D
What a pity we’ve come this far how luscious denial our devoured minds
                     Gbm         E               A
Our thoughts remain impotent our pillows stay fertile


A              D
Safe as houses tuck me in
A        Bm        E      Gbm          E
Daylight waits for no man you’re still young
                            Gbm
and breathings easy suck it in


       A          Bm  E
What a waste this facade
       A          E         Gbm
What a pity we’ve come this far

Interlude: A Bm E

       A          E         Gbm
What a pity we’ve come this far
