     C#            G#            A#m
This house that I live in has no reason
     F#           C#               G#     G#
This house that I sleep in has no purpose
         A#m                F#
It has a bed and a few old chairs
              A#m		  F#    C# G#
Three flights up, two flights of stairs
   	      A#m
But it has no reason

      C#/A#m   G#              D#
Then someone shot through the tyre swing
                     C#/A#m        G#         D#
The dogs barked and bayed in the winter and spring
        F#                       G#
And the ivy that hung now sadly clings
           A#m
To a dying season

Chorus:
     G         D             C             G 
And I cry at night when the lights go out
          G          D           C          G 
And the green eyes fuse and the full moon shouts
      Am7      		       G/Am7 Am7
From road maps and red lines to lipstick lies
              D#        A#       C#          G#
And when the lights go out it's tough to survive

This man holds a hand that shows a tremble
This man that I live in bears his faults
He has a heart and a well worn soul
Ten years a slave to Rock And Roll
But he has to tremble

For the yellow grass on the sun burnt lawn
Sleeps in her seeds from the sunset to dawn
And just like your love that's come and gone
It goes on breathing

Chorus
