Bright and Early by Sleeping at Last

Capo On 1st Fret

F A F6 Am

Intro:

Bright and early,

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?

Soundly asleep.

The warmth of blankets

Makes me nervous.

F6 Am

I'd rather catch a cold.

Like sparks in matches,

Blink, you'll miss it,

F6 Am

The future's up in smoke.

Though dust has settled,

I smell the ashes

F6 Am

Buried in my clothes.

Bb F6

It's all trigger and effect, I know…

Dominoes at their best.

In the end I'm told

A F6 Am

It taught me everything I know.

F A

But when the fire took our home,

I lost part of my soul.

From the ground up

I'll keep building

F6 Am

Houses into homes.

if trust is ribbon,

Then patience ties it

In a perfect bow.
