[Verse 1]
Bb                                      F
This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning

Bb                            F
Take it off the market in the afternoon

Gm            D                 F
You can buy a piece of it if you want to

Bb               C                        F
It’s been good to me if it’s been good to you
[Verse 2]
Bb                                  F
Take the grand look now the fire is burning

Bb                             F
Is that your reflection on the wall?

Gm                  D             F
I can show you this room and some others

Bb               C               F
If you came to see the house at all
[Verse 3]
Bb                                  F
Carefull at the stairs a few are missing

Bb                             F
I haven’t had the time to make repairs

Gm                  D            F
First step is the hardest one to master

Bb               C               F
And the last one up I’m not sure t’s there
(Instrumental Verse) [Verse 4]
Bb                                   F
This room here once had its childish laughter

Bb                              F
I come back to hear it now and again

Gm                  D                      F
I can’t say that I’m certain of what you’re after

Bb           C                        F
But in this room a part of you will remain
[Verse 5]
Bb                                   F
Second floor the lady sleeps in waiting

Bb                              F
Pass the laterns tip-toes in its glance

Gm                  D                      F
And in the room the soft brown arms of shadows

Bb           C                        F
This room is the hardest one to pass
[Verse 6]
Bb                                   F
How much will you pay to live in the attic

Bb                              F
The shavings of your mind are the only rent

Gm                 D                      F
I left some of it there if you thought you couldn’t

Bb           C                        F
Or if the shouldn'ts that you bought has all been spent
[Verse 7]
Bb                                      F
This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning

Bb                            F
Take it off the market in the afternoon

Gm            D                 F
You can buy a piece of it if you want to

Bb               F                        F
It’s been good to me if it’s been good to you
