Verse 1:
C (hold for 1 measure, then proceed to play verse)
Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
(Stay) up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'til the end
(Now we're) spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us
With pretty eyed-boys girls die to trust
(I) can't resist the day--no, I can't resist the day...
Verse 2:
CJenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
C/BBeer 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
GSummer's all in bloom
Summer's ending soon...
CHORUS
(It's al)right, and it's nice not to be so alone
F Am G FBut I hold on to your secrets in
Am G F C (hold for 1 measure, then proceed to verse 3)
White hou-ses
Verse 3:
CMaybe 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...
(It's al)right, and I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to his secrets in
Am G FWhite hou-ses
F Am GLove, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades, in
Am G FWhite hou-ses
Bridge:
F C Am G
My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
F C Am GOn 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:
CMaybe 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
(So I) go, and I will not be back here again
F Am G FI'm gone as the day is fading, on
Am G FWhite hou-ses
(I) lied, wrote my injuries all the in dust
F Am G FIn my heart it's the five of us, in
Am G FWhite hou-ses
(And) you, maybe you'll remember me
F Am G FWhat I gave is yours to keep, in
Am G F F F2White hou-ses, in
White hou-ses, in
