     Bbm          Db\Ab          Gb
This house that I live in has no reason

     Db                           Ab
This house that I sleep in has no purpose

         Bbm               Gb
It has a bed and a few old chairs

              Bbm		   Gb   Db  Ab
Three flights up, two flights of stairs

   	       Bbm
But it has no reason


     Db	     Ab		      Eb
Then someone shot through the tyre swing

		    Db           Ab         Eb
The dogs barked and bayed in the winter and spring

        Gb                        Ab
And the ivy that hung now sadly clings

            Bbm
To a dying season


    G\D      D              C         G\B
And I cry at night when the lights go out

        G\D        D            C         G\B
And the green eyes fuse and the full moon shouts

     Am7     		       G\D D     D
From road maps and red lines to lipstick lies

             Eb        Bb\D     Db           Ab
And when the lights go out it's tough to survive


Eb Bb\D  Db Ab


     Bbm			   Gb
This man holds a hand that shows a tremble

     Db                           Ab
This man that I live in bears his faults

         Bbm		       Gb
He has a heart and a well worn soul

            Bbm		      Gb Db  Ab
Ten years a slave to Rock And Roll

                Bbm
But he has to tremble


        Db     Ab 	    Eb
For the yellow grass on the sun burnt lawn

              Db             Ab        Eb 
Sleeps in her seeds from the sunset to dawn

    Gb					Ab
And just like your love that's come and gone

           Bbm
It goes on breathing

(CHORUS)

          Eb        Bb\D     Db           Ab
And when the lights go out it's tough to survive
