Just because you got it
You don't have to flaunt it

With an endless dream of famous men

Pretty as a portrait
Looked like Mamah Northwick
F C G F
On that Shining Brow of Taliesin
Chorus :
F C
Someone might try and burn it down
Em F G
So you'll have to put the fire out
C G C F Am Em F G C
Fortunes spent but that's irrelevant to build something that's sacred till the end

It cost twenty dollars to visit Fallingwater
F C G
It's the perfect house where no one lives

Maybe someone once did but they got evicted by a busload full of greedy tourists

To fulfill all of my fantasies

And the only thing that's sacred till the end
Interlude : C Am G F

C
Every time I tempt fate
Em
There's a major earthquake
F C G
Heard the people scream as the ceiling fell
C
Every building damaged
Em
Only one left standing
F C G F
It was Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel
Chorus :
F C
A rumination in my mind
Em F G
Winding like the ramp at the Guggenheim
C G C
I'm not content
F Am Em F G C
But I'm feeling hesitant to build something that's sacred till the end
