Neko Case – Behind The House (Ukulele)

   Am              F             F               Am     Am
At night I woke up crying in the lane behind the house

Am                 F               F                 Am   Am
Coals were wet and steaming by the time I figured it out

F          F          Am          Am
You didn't die in the fire

           F          F                Am   Am
It was the flood that carried you from me

        F              F           Am       Am
And the embers of your house still glowing

        E     E     E     E
Make it hard, hard, hard

   F   F   Am   Am/Am7 
To sleep

             F   F   Am   Am
It’s hard to breathe

        Am               F       F      F
There's not much room to go more crazy

  Am             F                F             Am   Am
A flaming sword above my head for all of you to see

  F               Am      F               Am
Beware my girl, beware, beware my girl, beware

         E     E     E     E
Of these memories

            F   F   Am   Am/Am7
And what is real

        F   F   Am   Am
What is real

  F                  F         Am     Am
I walk this world forever in a dream

   F           F           Am      Am
Or is this the land of the living

   F            F      Am       Am
Or is this your way to tell me

     E     E     E     E
That I

         F      F   Am   Am/Am7
Could've saved you

           F     F   Am   Am
I couldn't save you
