Strum
D-DU-UDU
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...
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
Summer's all in bloom
Summer's ending soon...
(It's al)right, and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in
White hou-ses
Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love, and we all got hurt
(I) sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat,
(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
White hou-ses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades, in
White hou-ses
My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake...
*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*
Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
(These) silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been...
(So I) go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading, on
White hou-ses
(I) lied, wrote my injuries all the in dust
In my heart it's the five of us, in
White hou-ses
And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep, in
White hou-ses, in
White hou-ses, in
White hou-ses...
