seemed to do it for me. They have the right chords and key but none of them REALLY get the
I don't think:) If you combine both of the chords that people already posted, you'd have
perfect tab! So here it is:
White Houses, Vanessa Carlton.
C Am G
Crashed on the floor when I moved in

This little bungalow with some strange new friends

Stay up too late, and I'm too thin

We promise each other it's 'til the end

With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
Am G
I can't resist the day

No, I can't resist the day
C Am G
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
C Am G
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
C Am G
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
C Am G
And I'm so excited, I haven't spoken

And she's so pretty, and she's so sure

Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her

Summer is ending soon

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head

I come undone at the things he said
C Am G
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
C Am G
We were all in love and we all got hurt
Am G F
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat

The smell of gasoline in the summer heat

Boy, we're going way too fast
Am G
It's all too sweet to last
F
It's alright
Am G F
And I put myself in his hands

Love, or something ignites in my veins

And I pray it never fades in white houses

My first time, hard to explain
C Am G F
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
C Am G F
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
C Am G C
He's my first mistake
F Am G C (hold C for one measure, strum quietly)
C Am G
Maybe you were all faster than me

We gave each other up so easily
C Am G
These silly little wounds will never mend
C Am G
I feel so far from where I've been
(strum a little louder)

So I go, and I will not be back here again

I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses...

I lied, wrote my injuries all in the dust

In my heart is the five of us

In white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me

What I gave is yours to keep

In white houses

In white houses

In white houses
