This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning

Cmaj7                                   G   C   G
and taken off the market in the afternoon

Am            D7                 G       C   G
You can buy a piece of it if you want

C                 D7                         G   C   G
It's been good to me if it's been good for you
[Verse 2]
Cadd2                          G            C    G
Take the grand look how the fire is burning

Cmaj7                                   G   C   G
Is that your reflection on the wall?

Am            D7                 G       C   G
I can show you this room and soe others

C                 D7                         G   C   G
If you came to see the house at all
[Verse]
Cadd2                          G            C    G
Careful up the stairs a few are missing

Cmaj7                                   G   C   G
I haven't had the time to make repairs

Am            D7                 G       C   G
The first step is the hardest one to master

C                 D7                         G   C   G
The last one I'm not really sure is there
[Verse]
Cadd2                          G            C    G
This room here once had childlish laughter

Cmaj7                                   G   C   G
And I come back to hear it now and again

Am            D7                 G       C   G
I can't say that I'm certain what you're after

C                 D7                         G   C   G
But in this room a part of you will remain
[Verse]
Cadd2                          G            C    G
Second floor the lady sleeps is waiting

Cmaj7                                   G   C   G
Past the lantern tiptoe in its glance

Am            D7                 G       C   G
In the room the soft brown arms of shadow

C                 D7                         G   C   G
This room is the hardest one to pass
[Verse]
Cadd2                          G            C    G
How much will you pay to live in the attic

Cmaj7                                   G   C   G
The shavings of your mind are the only rent

Am            D7                 G       C   G
I left some would there if you thought you couldn't

C                 D7                         G   C   G
Or if the shouldn't that you've bought has been spent
[Outro]
Cadd2                          G            C    G
This house goes on sale every Wednesday morning

Cmaj7                                   G   C   G
and taken off the market in the afternoon

Am            D7                 G       C   G
You can buy a piece of it if you want

C                 D7                         G   C   G
It's been good to me if it's been good for you
