CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: Em G D Em G D G
D
This house wasn't so good
Em D G
'Til we moved in and did what we could
D
Picked up the rubbish, gave it a coat of paint
Em D C
We're gonna do a little more when things loosen up again
CHORUS:
D Em
Whoa-ho, in this house
G D Em G
Whoa-ho-ho ho ho, in this this house
D
In this house, in my own room
Em D G
Where the past and the present will be coming soon
D
Go up together on that bulletin board
Em D C
I wanna hang a little [ picture on it without my ward ]
CHORUS:
D Em
Whoa-ho, in this house
G D Em C
Whoa-ho-ho ho ho, in this this house
BRIDGE 1:
G D Em C
Sooner or later, everybody settles in
G D Em C
And chances look greater, I live and breath within
G D Em C
But, sooner or later, everybody says [ don't go ]
G D B
It was better to wait until now
CHORUS:
Em
In this house
G D Em G D
Whoa-ho__, yeah, in this house
G D
The people before us, their family had grown
Em D
They said they rattled in the rooms since the kids moved on
G D
They planted a tree when the first was born
Em D C
They wanna leave it behind, like the house, too much room
CHORUS:
D Em
Whoa, this house
G D Em D C
Whoa-ho-ho ho ho, in this this house
BRIDGE 2:
G D Em C
Sooner or later, everybody moves on
G D Em C
Isn't it sad, [ such part are done, done ]
G D Em C
Sooner or later, everybody says goodbye
G D B
And never know whether, to laugh or to cry
CHORUS:
Em
In this house
G D Em
Whoa-ho__, in this this house
OUTRO:
G D Em
Well, freedom is my cause and with these walls, we talk about it
G D Em
Whoa-ho, in this this house
D
Ah, you get a little lease, you get a turn
C B Em
To plant a little something then you're all alone, you gotta move on
G D Em
Oo-oo-ooh, in this this house
G D Em
You sit in this old house and you fix walls and talk about it
G D Em
Whoa-ho, in this this house
G D Em
Whoa-ho, in this this house
G D Em
Oo-ooh, in this this house
G D Em
Oo-ooh, in this this house
G D Em
Oo-ooh, in this this house
G D Em
You sit in this old house and you fix walls and talk about it
