E C# A E E B E


         E       C#
Well the moon is broken
        A      E
And the sky is cracked
E                 C#
Come on up to the house
         E                   C#
The only things that you can see
   A            E
Is all that you lack
E       B         E
Come on up to the house


E        C#   
All your cryin 
      A     E
don't do no good
E                 C#
Come on up to the house
     E            C#
Come down off the cross
       A       E
We can use the wood
          E       B         E
You gotta come on up to the house


CHORUS
E
Come on up to the house
                  C#
Come on up to the house
             E      C#
The world is not my home
           A       E
I'm just a passin' thru
E       B         E
Come on up to the house
E

           E            C#
There's no light in the tunnel 
   A            E
No irons in the fire
E                 C#
Come on up to the house
         E           C#
And your singin lead soprano
     A         E
In a junkman's choir
          E       B         E
You gotta come on up to the house


     E         C#
Does life seem nasty,
A           E 
brutish and short
E                 C#
Come on up to the house
             E      C#
The seas are stormy 
              A       E
And you can't find no port
       E       B         E
Got to come on up to the house


CHORUS
          E
You gotta come on up to the house
                  C#
Come on up to the house
             E      C#
The world is not my home
           A       E
I'm just a passin' thru
E       B         E
Come on up to the house


E C# A E E E C# C# E C# A E E B E


CHORUS
          E
You gotta come on up to the house
                  C#
Come on up to the house
             E      C#
The world is not my home
           A       E
I'm just a passin' thru
           E       B         E
You got to come on up to the house

        E             E
There's nothin in the world 
     A       E
That you can do
          E                 C# 
You gotta come on up to the house
             E              C#
And you been whipped by the forces
         A      E
That are inside you
      E       B         E
Gotta come on up to the house
            E       C#
Well you're high on top
        A           E
Of your mountain of woe
      E                 C#
Gotta come on up to the house
         E                  C#
Well you know you should surrender
        A            E
But you can't let it go
          E       B         E 
You gotta come on up to the house

The world is not my home
           A       E
I'm just a passin' thru
          E       B         E
You gotta come on up to the house
          E       B         E
You gotta come on up to the house
