House of Hallways Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][G][F][Am][C][G][C]
[F]And[C] as it
[Gsus4]gets dark in [G]this house [F]of hallways
[C]And no [Am]corrid[G]or leads to the[F] stairs
With still [Am]wet black [G]paint on all
[F]the windows
[Am]We got n[C]o cloc[G]ks 'cause time
don't [F]care here

[Verse 2]
So [F]tell me your name young
[G]noble [C]stranger[Am][C]
[F]And tell me just what we're [G]doing [Am]here[C]
[F]Have you painted walls with
[G]all the answer[Am]s
[D]Have you hidden doors with all our fears
What he said is the [F]soul's rock hard but the [C]heart's trapped underneath

[Verse 3]
[G]
And the [F]weight of it all gets [C]enough just
to crush the [Am]best out of you and [G]me
But I [F]swear that there's [C]someone who
cares here [Am]enough to [F]set us free
And if the world don't turn just
enough to bring her [G]honest
Then I guess we're better off
[Am]forgotten[G][F]
[Am][G][C][F]

[Verse 4]
The walls [Am]stay [G]too thin
in this house [F]of hallways
They let [C]through [G]the echoes
[C]an [F]d the stares
[C]And they'll bleed bright [G]red with
[F]scribbled riddles
[D]Scratched [C]out of their [G]pan
els by [F]angered air

[Verse 5]
'Cause God knows I've [G]made
all my own [Am]choices
[F]And if I drown alone it's [G]'cause I [Am]choose
[F]To spend my time [G]drinking in [Am]the
[D]stairwells
When we've both got way too
much to prove
'Cause the [F]soul's rock hard but the [C]heart's trapped under[G]neath

[Verse 6]
And the [F]weight of it all gets [C]enough just to crush
the [Am]best out of you and [G]me
But I swear [F]that there's someone [C]who cares
here [Am]enough to set [G]us free[F]
And if the world don't turn just
enough to bring her [G]honest
Then I guess we're better off [Am]forgot
