Sleeping At Last - 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.
