    D5                               C5
    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
