Standard (EADGBE)

It's raining in my house tonight

Roof's leaking everywhere

It's overflowing buckets

 And pouring down the stairs

Taking spins around the hallway

 Then rambling out the door

 Out across the highway

 And down the empty pier

Then deep into the river

 The water it does fall

I hear the river rising

 As I listen through my wall

And everytime it rains

 And every time I cry

It's just another current

 In that river flowing by

Somebody's home

 Though you ache and feel alone

Someone you've always known

Somebody's home

Instrumental

There's a fire in my house tonight

 It's climbing up the stairs

It's tearing thru my photographs

 And choking off the air

 And now the walls are burning too

 And the roof is crashing in

And finally there's only flames

 Where once my house had been

As embers fall the flame take off

 In spirals to the sky

Then turn into the blazing stars

 That thru the heavens fly

 And though I mourn my own four walls

 I try to understand

I can see my wooden house

 In the ashes in my hand

Somebody's home

 Though you ache and feel alone

Someone you've always known

Somebody's home

Somebody's home

 Though you ache and feel alone

Someone you've always known

Somebody's home

Somebody's home

Somebody's home
