E
There's a crack in my memory,
B
as if something has gone
A
and split the foundation
E
of shadow, of song.
C#m
And rattled the windows,
A
and the tiny regrets.
E B
And the tiny glasses houses
E
that I tried to forget.
E
Drink â??til youâ??re sleeping,
B
I love you that way.
A
Like we are all babies;
E
all our beds are unmade.
C#m
No memory has molded
A
enough to forget.
E B
And our tiny glass houses
A E
are not built for us yet.
A
Takes all of the courage,
C#m
and none of the pride,
A
to stand in the threshold-
B
to sit down inside.
E
Where we are not babies;
B
no we are not new.
A
And our tiny glass houses
E A E
with the beautiful view.
E
Thereâ??s a crack in my memory
B
where a funeral parade,
A
rolls through the doorway
E
that my memory made.
C#m
And funeral marches
A
to its funeral sounds.
E B
And the tiny glass houses
A
are all tumbling down.
E B
And tiny glass houses,
A
are all tumbling down.
E B
And tiny glass houses,
A E
are all tumbling down.
