I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
Gb
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
Ab
Brush off the dirt
           Bbm
And let my change of heart occur.

Sold soon after the appraisal,
    Gb
The hammer struck the auction table
Ab                             Bbm
Louder than anything I've ever heard.


Gb                                Ab
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,
    Db              Gb
But I put it out of my mind
                       Ab
Long enough to call it courage
   Db             Gb
To live without a lifeline.

I bend the definition
Ab          Db           Gb
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,
                      Ab
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter,
    Gb
The sparks send the fire down the wire,
  Ab
a countdown begins,
          Bbm
Until the dynamite gives in.


    Bbm
The echo, as wide as the equator,
Gb                                  Ab
Travels through a world of built up anger,
                                 Bbm
Too late to pull itself together now.


Gb                                Ab
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,
    Db              Gb
But I put it out of my mind
                       Ab
Long enough to call it courage
   Db             Gb
To live without a lifeline.

I bend the definition
Ab          Db           Gb
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,
                      Ab
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.

 There was an earthquake.
Db Gb               Db        Gb
   There was an avalanche of change.
Bbm          Gb
 We were so afraid,
Db Gb                    Db   Ab
   We cried ourselves a hurricane.
Bbm             Gb
 There were floods,
                Db   Gb
And tidal waves over us,
              Db        Gb
We folded our hands and prayed.
Bbm         Gb
 Like a domino,
               Db       Gb
These wildfires grow and grow
                  Db          Ab
Until a brand new world takes shape.
