Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Open D or barre D, played with an upstroke:

A hundred lives are shoved inside

Guests arrive to dump their mess

Obedient host and his visiting wife

Come out of the bedroom

Straightening clothes

In this house that I call home

In this house that I call home

Nobody knows the party rules

Gotta get in but there's no room

In this house that I call home

Beautiful walls are closing in

I'm lookin' at you

You're havin' a nightmare

I stumble over tombstone shoes

I reach to surround you, but it's too soon

In this house that I call home

In this house that I call home

Nobody knows the party rules

Gotta get in but there's no room

In this house that I call home

I finally look into your sweet eyes

Somebody comes with a bottle of beer

After he leaves I turn for a kiss

I see the lady next door

She's naked in the street

In this house that I call home

In this house that I call home
