House of Their Dreams Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
A corner office was his [D]dream
More like a prison now [G]it seems
Somewhere on the corporate climb
He left his warrior behind
[D]Now he's just a worker
at a daily grind
Steals his years and numbs his mind
[G]His strength is fading,
his dreams [Em]are blind
This is not [Bm]the life [G]he had [D]in mind
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]She lies awake 'cause
he's up all night
Staring at a screen that tell[A]s him lies
[G]That the grass is greener on the other side
So [D]she's at the gym fighting off the years
To be young again and calm
her fears
[G]That she'll never be enough for him
Just as [Em]a young man catches her ey[D]e

[Verse 3]
Now they're trapped in their [G]own worlds,
in their [D]own wars
[A]With their cell phones
[Bm]and the closed doors
It's [G]funny how quiet [D]and peaceful
that [Bm]it seems
But they're [G]all alone [Em]together
In the house of [D]their dreams
[G]

[Verse 4]
Little sister,
she's a [D]sixteen-year-old princess
princess
princess
Lost somewhere between
the swing set
[G]And her brand new
crush's chariot awaits
And big [D]brother's rooms glowing
with trophies that shout his name
But he'd trade all his high school fame
[G]For some backyard catch
with his [Em]hero again

[Verse 5]
But they're trapped in their [G]own worlds,
in their [D]own wars
With [A]their cell phones
[Bm]and the closed doors
It's [G]funny how quiet [D]and peaceful
that [Bm]it seems
But they're [G]all alone [Em]together
[G]In the hou[Em]se of the[D]ir dreams
[G]

[Verse 6]
So now they're [D]all dressed
up in Sunday best
Sit up straight just like the rest
[G]And they sing the songs of peace and rest
that Jesus freely [D]gives
And then their kids look up
as daddy stands
And he takes his bride with trembling hands
[G]Brother kneels at his father's side as princess
looks in the mother's eyes
Their tears tear [D]down the wall[A]s
as daddy [Em]prays
We're trapped in [G]our own

[Verse 7]
worlds and our own wars
With our cell [D]phones
and our closed [Bm]doors
God, [G]only You can [D]save our fam[Bm]ily
[Em]And on t[G]his Rock, we'll buil[D]d
On this Rock, [F#m]we'll build[D][Em]
The house [D]of our dreams
[G]
