Verse 1:
C (hold for 1 measure, then proceed to play verse)
DO
Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
DO/SI
(Stay) up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's 'til the end
LAm
(Now we're) spinning empty bottles, it's the five of us
With pretty eyed-boys girls die to trust
SOL
(I) can't resist the day--no, I can't resist the day...
Verse 2:
DO
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes

Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
LAm
(And) she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
SOL
Summer's all in bloom
Summer's ending soon...

Verse 3:
DO
Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
DO/SI
(And) he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love, and we all got hurt

(I) sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat,
SOL
(Boy, we're) going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last...
CHORUS 2
FA LAm SOL
(It's al)right, and I put myself in his hands
FA LAm SOL FA
But I hold on to his secrets in
LAm SOL FA
White hou-ses

Love, or something ignites in my veins
FA LAm SOL FA
And I pray it never fades, in
LAm SOL FA
White hou-ses

On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think

He's my first mistake...

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily

White hou-ses...
