G                        Dm
There's a sign up in the yard
Am                              C      D
And the furniture has gone
G                              Dm
Filled with fettered memories
Am                  C      D
Unworthy of a song

Em            D                  C                  D      C
Flashes of sad and angry faces come and go,
Em            D                  C                        D            C
Could anyone live between those walls and never know?

D                        Am
And I could go there, but I'm not going,
C                        Am
Pulse is slowing, no, I'm not nervous anymore
D                              Am
I've had the nightmares, I've seen some counselors,
C                  Am
But I'm not going back up in that house again.

G      Dm      F      C
G      Dm      F      C

G                        Dm      Am                        C
It's just like waking up in that second and a half
G                        Dm
The bliss of not remembering
Am                              C            D
Before it all comes flooding back

Em                  D                  Am                  C
So what do I do as all these voices come and go?
Em                  D                  Am                  C
Could anyone live inside my head and never know?

D                        Am
And I could go there, but I'm not going,
C                        Am
Pulse is slowing, no, I'm not nervous anymore
D                              Am
I've had the nightmares, I've seen some counselors,
C                  Am
But I'm not going back up in that house again.

G      Dm      F      C

In that house again

G      Dm      F      C

D      F      Am      D

D                  Am
I'm not sorry for what I'm feeling,
C                        Am
Blow the walls out, bring the ceiling to the ground.
D                              Am
I've had the nightmares,seen the counselors,
C                  Am
I'm not going back up in that house again.

G      Dm      F      C
