Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window which won't open far enough to let air in.

           D
The house wins.

                     A
Oh the house always wins.

 A                A+              A6                A+               A                  A+             A6
Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window with the crask so small that nothing gets within.

           D
The house wins.

                     A
Oh the house always wins.
[Chorus]
           E                      D
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,

                       A
You might as well give in.

Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley and the window offers nothing in the din.

           D
The house wins.

                     A
Oh the house always wins.

  A                A+            A6                 A+
Clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones.

 A                A+               A6
Fingers rake and rasp away their skin.

           D
The house wins.

                     A
Oh the house always wins.
[Chorus]
           E                      D
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,

                       A
You might as well give in.

                 E                      D
Yeah, you don't have to be alone to be lonely,

                       A
You might as well give in.

Ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection and only one result has trickled in...

           D
The house wins.

                     A
Oh the house always wins.

If evil were a lesser breed then justice after all these years the righteous would have freed the world of sin

You don't have to be sick to be dying

                       A
You might as well give in.

           E                    D
You don't have to have lost to be lost.

        A
Oh give in.

You don't have to be alone to be lonely,

You might as well give in.
