G Cadd9 G
No, we don’t have a big place
Am7 Em D/F# C
We’re living in a suitcase, we’re waiting out the storm

It’s only getting colder, but we’ve been keeping warm

Look at what we have, we get diamonds

Out of broken glass, it’s just like us
Dadd4 G
All that we can hold are bits and pieces
C Dadd4
Might as well be gold shining in the dust

G Cadd9 G
Yeah, the house is full of memories
Am7 Em D/F# C

Your sister’s on the phone

If it’s trash or if it’s treasure, if it’s real or just a dream
