The House Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]This house goes on sale
every Wednesday [D]morning
It's [C]taking off the market in the afternoon
[G]You can[C] buy a pie[Am]ce of it if you wan[Em]t to
It's [C]been good to [D]me if
it's been good [G]for you
[D]Care[G]ful up the [C]stairs,
a few are [G]missing
I [C]haven't had the time to make re[G]pairs
The [C]first step is the [Am]hardest one [D]to [Em]master,
yeah
The [C]last one I'm not [D]really sure is [G]there
Take the grand look [C]how the fire is [G]burning
Is [C]that your reflection on the [G]wall?
[C]I can show you [Am]this room and some [Em]oth ers
If [C]you really [D]came to see the house at [G]all
This room here [C]once held childish [G]laughter
I [C]come back to hear it now and [G]again
I [C]can't say I'm [Am]cer
tain what you're af[Em]ter,
But [C]in this room a [D]part of
you will re[G]main.
Second floor,
[C]the lady sleeps in [G]waiting,
[C]Past the lantern, tiptoe in its [G]glance.
In [C]the room,
the [Am]soft brown arms of [Em]shadow,
This [C]room is [D]the hardest one to [G]pass.
[C][G][C][G][C][Am][D][Em][C][D]
[G]
How much will you [C]pay
to live in the [G]attic?
The [C]shavings of your mind are the [G]only rent
I [C]left you some [Am]wood if you
[D]thought you [Em]couldn't
Or [C]if the time you've [D]bought
has all been [G]spent
This house goes on [C]sale
every Wednes[G]day morning
It's [C]taking off the market in the afternoon
[G]You can[C] buy a pie[Am]ce of it [D]if you wan[Em]t to
It's [C]been good to [D]me if
it's been good [G]for you
It's [C]been good to [D]me,
if it's been good [G]for you.
