The House Song Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

A♯This house goes on sale every Wednesday Fmorning

A♯Take it off the market in the Fafternoon

GmYou can buy a A♯piece of it if you Fwant to

A♯It’s been good to Cme if it’s been Fgood to you

A♯Take the grand look now the fire is Fburning

A♯Is that your reflection on the Fwall?

GmI can show you this A♯room and some Fothers

A♯If you came to Csee the house at Fall

Carefull at the stairs a few are missing

I haven’t had the time to make repairs

First step is the hardest one to master

And the last one up I’m not sure t’s there

Instrumental verse

This room here once had its childish laughter

I come back to hear it now and again

I can’t say that I’m certain of what you’re after

But in this room a part of you will remain

Second floor the lady sleeps in waiting

Pass the laterns tip-toes in its glance

And in the room the soft brown arms of shadows

This room is the hardest one to pass

How much will you pay to live in the attic

The shavings of your mind are the only rent

I left some of it there if you thought you couldn’t

Or if the (?) that you boughthas all been spent

Verse 1
