Earth Chords

Capo 4th fret
 
  F#m
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
D
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
E
Brush off the dirt
           F#m
And let my change of heart occur.
 
F#m
Sold soon after the appraisal,
    D
The hammer struck the auction table
E                              F#m
Louder than anything I've ever heard.
 
D                                 E
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,
    A               D
But I put it out of my mind
                       E
Long enough to call it courage
   A              D
To live without a lifeline.
 
I bend the definition
E           A            D
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,
                      E
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
 
F#m
Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter,
    D
The sparks send the fire down the wire,
  E
A countdown begins,
          F#m
Until the dynamite gives in.
 
    F#m
The echo, as wide as the equator,
D                                   E
Travels through a world of built up anger,
                                 F#m
Too late to pull itself together now.
 
D                                 E
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,
    A               D
But I put it out of my mind
                       E
Long enough to call it courage
   A              D
To live without a lifeline.
 
I bend the definition
E           A            D
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,
                      E
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
 
F#m                D
 There was an earthquake.
A D                A         D
   There was an avalanche of change.
F#m          D
 We were so afraid,
A D                     A    E
   We cried ourselves a hurricane.
F#m             D
 There were floods,
                A    D
And tidal waves over us,
              A         D
We folded our hands and prayed.
F#m         D
 Like a domino,
               A        D
These wildfires grow and grow
                  A           E
Until a brand new world takes shape.

But I put it out of my mind

'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
