Good Houses by Madeline
From the album The Slow Bang

B
Good endless surprises.
F#
Good reasons for waking.
E
Good friends are good family
with hearts over flowing
B
from kindness from strangers.
F#
The will to survive.
E
When our hearts are all pounding,
God knows we're alive.

B            F#
Good houses. Decisions.
E
You're married with children.
B            F#                 E
Sweet cages, I thought you were mine.
B                     F#
With our backs to the wind
E
and our faces to bend
B                     F#                E
all the rules and our feet crossed the line. 

Apologies given to thin air don't listen.
The vibrations don't hit eardrums
of the heads that deserve this.
The useless excuses.
It didn't work, but we really tried.

Good timing found speechless,
we tripped on our moments.
Good gracious, who left who behind?
Let's live in the hour. Make powerful statements of 

how we will not let this die. 

B                F#       E
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind

Good houses. Decisions.
You're married with children.
Sweet cages, I thought you were mine. 



This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind

This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
This is not what I had in mind
