Vanessa Carlton - White Houses guitar tab
N/C
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
C C/B
Now we're spinning empty bottles
Am G
Just the five of us
C C/B Am G
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
C C/B Am G
I can't resist the day
C C/B Am G
No, I can't resist the day
C C/B Am G
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
C C/B Am G
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
C C/B Am G
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
C C/B Am G
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
C C/B Am G
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
C C/B Am G
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
C C/B Am G
Well summer is all in bloom
C C/B Am G
Summer's ending soon
chorus
F C/B Am F
It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
C/B Am F
But I hold on to secrets in

C C/B Am F
My, first, time, hard to explain
C C/B Am F
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
C C/B Am F
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
C C/B Am F C
He's, my, first, mistake

We're back. This time, it's a nice song by Vanessa Carlton. I think this one is a good
version, a lot closer to the piano version because it's tabbed instead of pure chords.
It can also be played nicely on a piano/keyboard.
If anyone wants the piano transcript of this, email me arlene29_99@yahoo.com
--------
UPDATE: it seems people thought and ask me about the official piano sheet of this song
that, unfortunately, i don't have. all i know is the piano tab of THIS guitar tab
submission. but even that, people can easily figure it out so noone need to ask me.
this tab is better on a guitar anyway rather than on the piano. to everyone who asked,
thank you.
--------
"You Promised Me Delight" will be heard someday.
