[Verse 1]
G       D/F#     Cmaj7   
Grew up swift and strange

Both feet in the dirt and 
 G        D/F#   Cmaj7     G D C
laughing soft in church, mm
G           D/F# Cmaj7 
You're born city slick,
      G    D/F#           
 with both sharp shoulders
Cmaj7
 chipped
G      D/F#   Cmaj7     G   
Always more to prove to boys'

 of the house that always rains

G        D/F#  Cmaj7   
Stumbled to the streets,
        G         D/F#    Cmaj7
 found crowds of talking teeth
    G             D/F# 
Overwhelmed (Terrified), 
       Cmaj7
we fell (Eye to eye)
         G           D/F#     
Then the rest of the world
 went quiet for the first time

 that it's not about me
                            G

you were scared of being seen

Truly seen

[Chorus]
       Am7             C         
But I saw you in the door frame

of the house that always rains
         Am7                    
Come and find me, 'cause they're 
 C               G          D/F#    C
shouting in the house that always shakes
      Am7              C    
Don't that explain why we're
           G  D/F# C
 afraid of love?
      Am7              C    
Don't that explain why we're 
           G  D/F# Cmaj9
afraid of us?
