Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window which won't open
Bb#5                  Bb6far (x15xxx@1)enough to let air in.
(Bb6)     EThe (022100@1)house wins.
                    Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.

Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window with the crack so
Bb#5                    Bb6small (x15xxx@1)that nothing gets within.
(Bb6)     EThe (022100@1)house wins.
                     Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.

F#maj                  EYou (022100@1)don't have to be alone to be lonely,
                       BbYou (x1333x@1)might as well give in.

Bbmag            Bb#5            Bb6Fingers (x15xxx@1)rake and rasp away their skin.

(Bb6)     EThe (022100@1)house wins.

NOTES: On the verse immediately following the solo section, you may want to hold Bb 
as the primary chord until "the house wins".  This makes it more true to the song.
