Sleeping At Last - Bright And Early Chords

Capo On 1st Fret

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
In a perfect bow.
