Intro
Open D or barre D, played with an upstroke:
A hundred lives are shoved inside
Guests arrive to dump their mess
Obedient host and his visiting wife
Come out of the bedroom
Straightening clothes
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Nobody knows the party rules
Gotta get in but there's no room
In this house that I call home
Beautiful walls are closing in
I'm lookin' at you
You're havin' a nightmare
I stumble over tombstone shoes
I reach to surround you, but it's too soon
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
Nobody knows the party rules
Gotta get in but there's no room
In this house that I call home
I finally look into your sweet eyes
Somebody comes with a bottle of beer
After he leaves I turn for a kiss
I see the lady next door
She's naked in the street
In this house that I call home
In this house that I call home
