The House Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]There's a full moon over
this an[F]cient town
[Dm]A clock faced the color of [G]the sky
And [C]every street that [F]we walk down
Be[Dm]longs to [G]the house where
my father died
[C][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[F]
[C]Where prisoners march in luck step
with each [F]other[Dm]
Reavers test the limit of their [G]reign
[C]Dragging their dead weight
from the oth[F]er
While I [Dm]claim my place, [G]center stage

[Verse 3]
I've [C]been thrown by the thrashing
of his go[F]ing
[Dm]Chained to his unseen [G]stride
[C]I've walked in luck step without [F]knowing
[Dm]My indifference, my on[G]ly disguise

[Verse 4]
Now it comes [C]through me like an injection
[F]Anonymous pai[Dm]n throbbing real inside
[G]And eve[C]ry pulse in my bod[F]y
Be[Dm]longs to the [G]house where
my father died
[C][Dm][F][C]

[Verse 5]
[F]
Won't catch [C]his spirit in a [F]candle
On or [Dm]alive in it's guttering [G]glow
[C]And death comes through these
streets like [F]a scandal
Bent up and [Dm]beaten, oh,
a [G]bitter body blow

[Verse 6]
And in [C]bars and shaded back [F]rooms
Those who [Dm]can't cope just get [G]high
But [C]every place this drink [F]takes me to
Be[Dm]longs to the house,
[G]where my father died
[C][Dm][F][C][F][Dm]

[Verse 7]
[F]
And there's [C]a full moon over
this an[F]cient town
Head [Dm]lights numb the banner of the [G]sky
Rain [C]rages the steadings
and the [F]open ground
And I'm a child [Dm]fighting shadows
[G]with tears in my eyes

[Verse 8]
[C]And the valley cannons [F]and thunder
Trees blow [Dm]beneath
the bruising of [G]the sky
Like centuries [C]shield the lake
from my won[F]der
And I'm [Dm]as helpless as a child
hiding [G]from life

[Verse 9]
[C]And the face from my mind is fad[F]ing
I count [Dm]the wounds for the very first [G]time
To[C]night there's gonna be a reck[F]oning
I'm [Dm]entering the [G]house where my father

[Outro 1]
died
[C][Dm][F][C][F][Dm][F]
[Dm][F][C]
