Earth Sleeping at Last
Capo 4th fret
I [F#m]dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
[D]Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
[E]Brush off the dirt
And let my [F#m]change of heart occur.
[F#m]Sold soon after the appraisal,
The [D]hammer struck the auction table
[E]Louder than anything I've ever [F#m]heard.
[D]Fault lines tremble underneath my [E]glass house,
But [A]I put it out of [D]my mind
Long enough to call it [E]courage
To [A]live without a [D]lifeline.
I bend the definition
[E]Of faith to [A]exonerate my [D]blind eye,
'Til the sirens sound,[E] I'm safe.
[F#m]Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter,
The [D]sparks send the fire down the wire,
A [E]countdown begins,
Until the [F#m]dynamite gives in.
The [F#m]echo, as wide as the equator,
[D]Travels through a world of built up [E]anger,
Too late to pull itself together [F#m]now.
[D]Fault lines tremble underneath my [E]glass house,
But [A]I put it out of [D]my mind
Long enough to call it [E]courage
To [A]live without a [D]lifeline.
I bend the definition
[E]Of faith to [A]exonerate my [D]blind eye,
'Til the sirens sound,[E] I'm safe.
[F#m] There was an earth[D]quake.
[A] [D] There was an ava[A]lanche of [D]change.
[F#m] We were so a[D]fraid,
[A] [D] We cried ourselves a [A]hurri[E]cane.
[F#m] There were floo[D]ds,
And tidal waves [A]over [D]us,
We folded our [A]hands and [D]prayed.
[F#m] Like a domi[D]no,
These wildfires[A] grow and[D] grow
Until a brand new [A]world takes [E]shape.
[E] [C#m] [D] [E]
[D]Fault lines tremble underneath my [E]glass house,
But [A]I put it out of [D]my mind
Long enough to call it [E]courage
To [A]live without a [D]lifeline.
I bend the definition
[E]Of faith to [A]exonerate my [D]blind eye,
'Til the sirens sound,[E] I'm safe.[A]
[D]'Til the sirens sound,[E] I'm safe.[A]
[D]'Til the sirens sound,[E] I'm safe.[A]
[D] [E] [D] [E]
