Bm
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
G
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
A
Brush off the dirt
Bm
And let my change of heart occur.
Bm
Sold soon after the appraisal,
G
The hammer struck the auction table
A Bm
Louder than anything I've ever heard.
G A
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
G
But I put it out of my mind
A
Long enough to call it courage
G
To live without a lifeline.
I bend the definition
A G
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
A
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
Bm
Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter.
G
The sparks send the fire down the wire,
A
A countdown begins,
Bm
Until the dynamite gives in.
Bm
The echo, as wide as the equator,
G A
Travels through a world of built up anger-
Bm
Too late to pull itself together now.
G A
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline.
I bend the definition
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
