White Houses

Tom: C
N/C
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 
C                         C/B
Now we're spinning empty bottles
 Am              G
Just the five of us 
C                 C/B  Am            G
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
C       C/B  Am      G
I can't resist the day 
C        C/B   Am       G 
No, I can't resist the day 
C             C/B  Am        G
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
C              C/B   Am           G
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
C               C/B  Am             G
Beer through the nose on an inside joke 
C              C/B  Am        G
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
C             C/B    Am           G
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
C                C/B  Am           G
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
C         C/B Am         G
Well summer is all in bloom 
C      C/B Am      G
Summer's ending soon 
chorus
          F           C/B  Am              F
It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
       C/B  Am       F
But I hold  on to secrets in 
      G
white houses 


bridge
C        C/B    Am           F
My,   first,   time, hard to explain
C          C/B     Am               F
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
C            C/B    Am                F
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
C       C/B    Am    F        C    
He's,  my,  first,  mistake
Pretty Baby
Tom: A
VERSE 1
A9              F#m7        D#m7         D69
  You light me up and then I fall for you
  You lay me down and they I call for you
  Stumbling on reasons that are far and few
  I'd let it all come down and then some for you
CHORUS
A           Bm7               A/C#              D69
Pretty Baby don't you leave me I have been saving smiles for you
Pretty Baby why can't you see you're the one that I belong to
A              Bm7                     A/C#             
I'll be the embrace that keeps you warm for you're the 
D69
sun that breaks the storm
A            Bm7                  A/C#              D69
I'll be alright and I'll sleep sound as long as you keep coming round
A9  F#m7            D#m7  D69
          Oh pretty baby
VERSE 2
  A9           F#m7           D#m7    D69
And I know   things can't last forever
but there are lessons that you'll never learn 
Oh just the scent of you it makes make me hurt
so how's it    you  that makes me better?
CHORUS
Bridge
A/C#       Dm6       A/C#      Dm6/F
Why can't you hold me and never let go?
When you   touch me  it is     me that you own
Pretty     Baby    oh the place that you hold
A/C#  D     Bm7/E
in    my   heart  would you break
it    a--- part  again?
A/C#  F#m7         D#m7   D69
          Oh pretty Baby
CHORUS and fade
