The House Wins Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[Gaug][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Fingers blistered [Gaug]from the
nightly scratching at the window
Which won't [G]open far [Gaug]enough to let air in
[G]The house win[C]s, oh,
the house [G]always wins

[Verse 2]
[G]Feral cats [Gaug]are screaming at the clouds
be[G]neath the win[Gaug]dow
With [G]the cracks so small that
[Gaug]nothing gets [G]within
The house [C]wins, oh,
the house [G]always wins

[Verse 3]
You don't [D]have to [Dsus4]be
[D]alone to be [C]lonely
You might as well [G]give in

[Verse 4]
[G]Telephones [Gaug]are howling at
the cats out in the alley
And [G]the window offers [Gaug]nothing in the din
[G]The house win[C]s, oh,
the house [G]always wins

[Verse 5]
[G]Clouds uncage the [Gaug]car alarms to
chase the cats and telephones
[G]Fingers rake and [Gaug]rasp away their skin
[G]The house win[C]s, oh,
the house [G]always wins

[Verse 6]
You don't [D]have to [Dsus4]be
alone to [D]be [C]lonely
You might as well give [G]in
Yeah, you don't [D]have to
[Dsus4]be alone to be lon[D]ely[C]
You might as well give [G]in

[F][Dm][Eb][C][F][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[G]Ice age upon [Gaug]catastrophic
ice age of selection
And [G]only [Gaug]one result
has [Cm]trickled [G]in
The house [C]wins, oh, the house [G]always wins

[Verse 8]
If [G]evil were [Gaug]a lesser breed
[G]then justice [Cm]after all these [Gaug]years
The [G]righteous would [Eb]have freed
[Gaug]the world [G]of sin
The house [C]wins, oh,
the house [G]always wins

[Verse 9]
You don't [Dsus4]have to be
alone to [Dm]be lo[C]nely
You might as well [G]give in
You don't [Dsus4]have to be
alone to [D]be [C]lonely
You might [G]as well give in

[Verse 10]
You don't [Dsus4]have to be
sick to [D]be dy[C]ing
You might as well [G]give in
You don't [Dsus4]have to
[D]have lost to [C]be lost
Oh, give in

[Verse 11]
[G]You [Dm]don't have to be
alone to be [C]lonely[G]
You might [C]as well give [G]in
