Intro: F A F6 Am
F
Bright and early,
A
Through the curtains,
F6 Am
The sun comes pouring in.
F A
Filling glasses up with diamonds,
F6 Am
Stirring where I've been
Bb F6
But it's all trigger and effect.
G G
Dominoes at their best.
F A
In the end I'm told
A F6 Am
It taught me everything I know.
F A
That the wreckage left behind,
F6 Am
Will somehow make me grow.
Bb F6
But why couldn't I have been safe from the start?
G
Soundly asleep.
F
The warmth of blankets
A
Makes me nervous.
F6 Am
I'd rather catch a cold.
F
Like sparks in matches,
A
Blink, you'll miss it,
F6 Am
The future's up in smoke.
Bb
Though dust has settled,
A
I smell the ashes
F6 Am
Buried in my clothes.
Bb F6
It's all trigger and effect, I know…
G
Dominoes at their best.
F
In the end I'm told
A F6 Am
It taught me everything I know.
F A
But when the fire took our home,
F6
I lost part of my soul.
Bb
From the ground up
F
I'll keep building
F6 Am
Houses into homes.
Bb
if trust is ribbon,
A
Then patience ties it
F6
