(ver. 1)
Sleeping At Last
[Verse 1]

  Am
I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
F
Swear to the earth that I will keep it,
G
Brush off the dirt
           Am
And let my change of heart occur.

Am
Sold soon after the appraisal,
    F
The hammer struck the auction table
G                              Am
Louder than anything I've ever heard.


[Chorus]

F                                 G
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,
    C        Em       F
But I put it out of my mind
                       G
Long enough to call it courage
   C      Em        F
To live without a lifeline.

I bend the definition
G           C    Em        F
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,
Dm                    G
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.


[Verse 2]

Am
Meanwhile, my family's taking shelter,
    F
The sparks send the fire down the wire,
  G
A countdown begins,
          Am
Until the dynamite gives in.

    Am
The echo, as wide as the equator,
F                                   G
Travels through a world of built up anger,
                                 Am
Too late to pull itself together now.


[Chorus]

F                                 G
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,
    C        Em       F
But I put it out of my mind
                       G
Long enough to call it courage
   C      Em        F
To live without a lifeline.

I bend the definition
G           C    Em        F
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,
Dm                    G
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.


[Bridge]

Am                F   
 There was an earthquake.
C                            Em
   There was an avalanche of change.
Am          F
 We were so afraid,
C                            G
   We cried ourselves a hurricane.
Am                 F
 There were floods,
                      Dm
And tidal waves over us,
                        Em
We folded our hands and prayed.
Am         F
 Like a domino,
                              C
These wildfires they grow and grow
                                G
Until a brand new world takes shape.


[Chorus]

F                                 G
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house,
    C        Em       F
But I put it out of my mind
                       G
Long enough to call it courage
   C      Em        F
To live without a lifeline.

I bend the definition
G           C    Em        F
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye,
Dm                    G         C Em F
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
Dm                     G          C Em F
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
Dm                    Am
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
