Lyrics

(C)Crashed on the floor when I moved in.

This lit tle bun ga low with some strange new friends.

Stay (C)up too late and I’m too thin.

We prom ise each oth er it’s till the end.

Now we’re (Am9)spin ning emp ty bot tles, it’s the five of us with pret ty eyed boys girls die to trust.

I (Gsus)can’t re sist the day.

No, I (G6)can’t re sist the day.

And (C)Jen ny screams out and it’s no pose, ’cause when she danc es she goes and goes.

And (C)beer through the nose on an in side joke.

And I’m so ex cit ed, I have n’t spo ken.

And (Am9)she’s so pret ty and she’s so sure.

May be I’m more clev er than a girl like her.

(Gsus)Sum mer’s all in bloom.

The (Gsus)sum mer’s end ing soon.

It’s al (F5)right

and it’s (A5)nice not to (G5)be so a (F5)lone

but I (A5)hold (G5)on to her (F5)se crets in (C5)white (A5)hous (G5)es.

(C)May be I’m a lit tle bit o ver my head.

I come un done at the things he said.

And (C)he’s so fun ny in his bright red shirt.

We were all in love and we all got hurt.

I (Am9)sneak in to his car’s black leath er seat.

The smell of gas o line in the sum mer heat.

Boy, we’re (Gsus)go in’ way too fast.

It’s (Gsus)all too sweet to last.

It’s al right

and I (A5)put my be (G5)self in his (F5)hands.

But I (A5)hold as the (G5)on to his (F5)se crets in (G5)white hous es.

and I (A5)pray it the (G5)nev er (F5)fades

(C)May be you were all fast er than me.

We gave each oth er up so eas i ly.

I feel so far from where I’ve been.

So I go (C5)white (A5)hous (G5)es.

And (F5)you, may be (A5)you’ll re (G5)mem ber (F5)me.

In (C5)white (A5)hous (G5)es.

In (C5)white (A5)hous (G5)es.
