House She Lived In Chords

   
From their 2009 album 'Sun Gangs'.
Four chord sequence repeats over all parts of the song, although you might want 
to make the C into a C7 sometimes.


F Dm Bb C

F
The house she lived in
Dm
is now all we're left with
Bb                       C
it'll take a lifetime to pay for this

Al the nuns were singin'
and the crowds were immense
all the papers wrote it a different way

Those known desirers
her first admirers
all claimed that they were her favorite

But I know that it was
me alone she loved
though I still have nothing to show for it

F
Ain't no calling you back
                    Dm
I just want you to know
I've your voice on my head
                       Bb
and your frame on the wall
it all went wrong
                        C
but I wish you'ld've stayed with me
love stay with me


Her brother John said
he ain't sure if she's dead
or just hiding somewhere away from him.

We all still remember
that cold December
with you lawn, and blaze, and razor blade drawn

Ain't no calling you back
I just want you to know
I've your voice on my head
and your frame on the wall
it all went wrong
But I wish you'ld've stayed with me
love stay with me

Oh love, when it's cold love
That's when I know love
That's when I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Well now it's all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Now it's all done
Yeah I'll lay down there for hours
Now it's all gone
I know I'll see you in the flowers
Oh, honey, won't you come home?

I'd offer my soul
if I thought it might help at all
If I thought it might help at all
and I'd follow you down that road
If I thought it might help at all.

(Now go sing it to strangers.)
