AM
There’s a face on the door
G
of a house in the rain
Em Am
on the street in my town
Dm Am
coffin wood over the frame
(Intro riff)
all the people will come
G Em
and admire at the gate
Dm Am
as the face sheds a tear
Dm G
for the long and lonely wait
E
oh no oh no
[E riff] (play while stumming E)

[Chorus]
Am C
the house of souls its calling you home
C#m#5/E Dm
hear the ringing in your ear
Bm#5/D Am
its known you all these years
E (E riff)
come back to sacramento
Am
one day you’ll die
C
going into the light
C#m#5/E Dm
and you’ll find yourself right here
Bm#5/D Am
turn the doorknob without fear
E
you were always coming here
Eriff Am
since the day your soul appeared
[Verse]
Am
half lion half man
G E
the cane and able demien
Dm Am
they all look out through those eyes,
Dm Am
the first to live that last to die
Am
the visage of eternal rest
G Em
the gaze of every single guest
Dm Am
they count the breaths we have left
E
at the threshold of death

because ill be living there

the house of souls its calling you home
