Biography:
Amelia Curran is a Canadian singer, playwright,
and songwriter. She was born in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador and currently lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The National Post describes her music as “a bit like Leonard Cohen being channeled in a dusty saloon by Patsy Cline.”
Curran started playing guitar and writing songs as a teenager and eventually dropped out of university in order to busk on the streets of St. John’s. That led to her first album release in 2000, and since then she has released four more.

Tiny Glass Houses – Amelia Curran
A few quick notes: Any "B" chords can be "B7" based on your preference, and for the purpose of this tab
"Esus4" is 022200 and "Aadd6" is x02222. These two chords appear in a few places throughout the song where
there aren't words. You'll hear it because it will sound like what she does in the intro. Enjoy!

E
There's a crack in my memory,
B
as if something has gone
A
and split the foundation
E
of shadow, of song.
C#m
And rattled the windows,
A
and the tiny regrets.
E B
And the tiny glasses houses
E
that I tried to forget.
E
Drink ‘til you’re sleeping,
B
I love you that way.
A
Like we are all babies;
E
all our beds are unmade.
C#m
No memory has molded
A
enough to forget.
E B
And our tiny glass houses
A E
are not built for us yet.
A
Takes all of the courage,
C#m
and none of the pride,
A
to stand in the threshold-
B
to sit down inside.
E
Where we are not babies;
B
no we are not new.
A
And our tiny glass houses
E A E
with the beautiful view.
E
There’s a crack in my memory
B
where a funeral parade,
A
rolls through the doorway
E
that my memory made.
C#m
And funeral marches
A
to its funeral sounds.
E B
And the tiny glass houses
A
are all tumbling down.
E B
And tiny glass houses,
A
are all tumbling down.
E B
And tiny glass houses,
A E
are all tumbling down.
