Verse:
G
Now
I'm wakin' at the crack of dawn
                        D
to send a little money home from here
       G
to the moon is risin' like a discotheque
                              D
and now my bags are down and packed for traveling

G
Lookin' at happiness
keepin' my flavor fresh
nobody knows I guess
              D
How far I'll go, I know
       G
so I'm leavin' at Six O' Clock
meet in a parkin' lot
Harriet Hendershot
            D
Sunglasses on, she waits by this

Chorus:
  A        Gm            D
Glass and concrete and stone
       A      Gm           D
It is just a house, not a home

 
Verse:
G
Skin
that covers me from head to toe
                      D
except a couple tiny holes and openings
G
where, the city's blowin' in and out
                       D
this is what it's all about, delightfully

G
Everything's possible
when you're an animal
not inconceivable
                 D
How things can change, I know
       G
So I'm puttin' on aftershave
nothin' is out of place
gonna be on my way
          D
Try to pretend, it's not only

Chorus:
  A        Gm            D
Glass and concrete and stone
That it's just a house, not a home

Solo

Chorus:
And it’s glass and concrete and stone
It is just a house, not a home

Chorus:
And my head is fifty feet high
Let my body and soul be my guide

Outro
