Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

1:

Midnight, that old clock keeps ticking.

 The kids are all asleep, and I'm walking the floor.

Darlin', I can see that you're dreaming.

 And I don't wanna wake you up, when I close the door.

Chorus

This old house of ours is built on dreams.

 And a businessman don't know what that means.

 There's a garden outside she works in every day.

 And to-morrow morning a man from the bank's,

 Gonna come and take it all a-way.

2:

Lately, I've been thinking 'bout daddy.

And how he always made things work,

When the chips were down.

And I know, I've got something inside me.

There's always a light there to guide me,

To what can't be found.

Chorus

This old house of ours is built on dreams.

And a businessman don't know what that means.

There's a swing outside the kids play on every day.

And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's,

 Gonna come and take it all a-way.

Bridge

Take it all a-way, take it all a-way, take it all a-way.

 Take it all a-way, take it all a-way, take it all a-way.

Solo

(Verse)

3:

Remember, how we first came here together.

Standing on an empty lot, holding hands.

Later, we came back in the moonlight.

And made love right where the kitchen is,

Then we made our plans.

Chorus

This old house of ours is built on dreams.

And a businessman don't know what that means.

There's a garden outside she works in every day.

And tomorrow morning a man from the bank's,

Gonna come and take it all away.

Outro

Take it all a-way, take it all a-way, take it all a-way.

/ (Break)

 Take it all a-way, take it all a-way, take it all a-way.
