Earth(Chords)

	        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.
