 Our house, in the middle of our street,

Our house, in the middle of our...

 Our house it has a crowd,

        Dm                                   Fm
There's always something happening, and it's usually quite loud.

 Sees them off with a small kiss.

 Our house, in the middle of our street,

    Am     Em     Gm
Our house, in the middle of our...

C
 I remember way back then, when everything was true, and when,

Gm
 We would have such a very good time;

       Dm                Fm
Such a fine time, such a happy time.

    C
And I remember how we'd play,

                           Gm
Simply waste the day away, then we'd say;

                      Dm            Fm
Nothing would come be-tween us; two dreamers.

C                        Gm
 Father wears his Sunday best,
