• Song:

    If My Heart Was A House

  • Artist:

    Owl City

I've seen the tabs on here for this song and I just can't seem to sing along
whilst playing the chords. So this is my version and I think it sounds quite good.

Standard tuning. Use capo on your choice of fret depending on the pitch of your 
voice. I prefer to use it on the 3rd fret. 

This is my first ever tab btw so keep critisism to the minimum , thanks.

        G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)         Em (022000@1)       CLooking (x32010@1)down on the world as it warms over everything.
G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)     Em (022000@1)    C (x32010@1) Chills run down my spine,
       G (320003@1)       DAs (xx0232@1)our fingers entwine
         Em (022000@1)       CAnd (x32010@1)your sighs harmonize with mine.
G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)      Em (022000@1)    C (x32010@1) Un  -  mistake  - ably,

G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)       Em (022000@1)        C (x32010@1) We got older and I should've known (Do you feel alive?)
G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)         Em (022000@1)    A (x02220@1) That I'd feel colder when I walk alone (Oh, but you'll survive)
G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)         Em (022000@1)        C (x32010@1) So I may as well ditch my dismay.
      G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)

 Em (022000@1)        C (x32010@1)              GIf (320003@1)my heart was a compass you'd be North.
