White Houses Vanessa Carlton
[C]Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
(Stay) [C/B]up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'til the end
(Now we're) [Am]spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us
With pretty eyed-boys girls die to trust
(I) [G]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
(And) [Am]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:
(It's al)ri[F]ght, and it's [Am]nice not to [G]be so alone
[F] But I [Am]hold [G]on to your se[F]crets 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
(And) [C/B]he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love, and we all got hurt
(I) [Am]sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat,
(Boy, we're) [G]going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last...
CHORUS 2:
(It's al)ri[F]ght, and I [Am]put my[G]self in his hands
[F] But I [Am]hold [G]on to his se[F]crets in
[C]White [Am]hou-[G]ses
[F]Love, or [Am]something ig[G]nites in my veins
[F] And I [Am]pray it n[G]ever fa[F]des, in
[C]White [Am]hou-[G]ses
Bridge:
[F] My [C] first [Am] time, [G] hard to explain
[F] Rush of blo[C]od, oh, [Am] and a l[G]ittle bit of pain
[F] On a clo[C]udy day, [Am] it's more c[G]ommon 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]the i[Am]nstr[G]umental 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
(These) [C/B]silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been...
CHORUS 3:
(So I) go,[F] and I [Am]will not be [G]back here again
[F] I'm [Am]gone as the [G]day is f[F]ading, on
[C]White [Am]hou-[G]ses
(I) [F]lied, wrote my [Am]injuries [G]all the in dust
[F] In my [Am]heart it's the [G]five of u[F]s, in
[C]White [Am]hou-[G]ses
(And) [F]you, maybe [Am]you'll re[G]member me
[F] What I [Am]gave is [G]yours to k[F]eep, in
[C]White [Am]hou-[G]ses, [F] [F2] in
[C]White [Am]hou-[G]ses, [F] [F2] in
[C]White [Am]hou-[G2]ses...[C]
