I hate to throw stones

The ones in my mind
Em F C F
I don’t want to stare at the face of the unknowns
F G F
My house is made of glass, not stone like my

fears
F
It’ll shatter if I break
G Am
So I must never cry my tears
F G
Because without my house I’m skin and bones
[Chorus]
F C F
My house is a lovely castle until someone breaks
G
it down

I say my thoughts will never break me

My house is made of glass

So why would I toss stones around?

So unless I get some luck stroke
F C G
I can’t drop this guise

For I don’t wanna lose any more stones

Don’t speak to loud

When you fall, stay down

In a house of glass, standing shakes the ground
[Bridge]

When you wanna let it out

Remember your glass house

Inside, there’s the people you can’t be without

Crying is a knock-out

Have fun, not too much

Never be put out

If the house were to break, some shards would
