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.
