Housebroken chords by The Hotelier

They play this song half-step down. Live, the guitarist plays with a capo on the second fret,
but in acoustic videos, Christian plays half-step down without a capo. You can adjust the capo
to fit your vocal range. All chords relative to capo.

  A        A/B    A/F#     Asus4
We called off your guard as we entered the yard
    A      A/B   A/F#     Asus4
to convince you to redirect some of that rage
     A      A/B       A/F#      Asus4
Because who fed you rocks while they ate their thanksgiving
  A       A/B   A/F#      Asus4
and who left you out all alone in their cage.

     A     A/B   A/F#      Asus4
And when you were a pup, I watched you so close
      A       A/B    A/F#     Asus4
you ran straight to the distance allowed by his rope
     A        A/B       A/F#     Asus4
you got kicked, you got choked, phrases crept up your spine
         A       A/B    A/F#
when he said "we must keep our bitches in line".
    A     A/B        A/F#     Asus4
And on his poker nights he says the same of his wife.
     A       A/B  A/F#   Asus4
He's the top dog/pack leader/true alpha-male.
    A     A/B       A/F#     Asus4
So make no sudden moves keep your nose from the border.
     A       A/B      A/F#    Asus4
You move fast. You eat last this side of pecking-order.

So why don't you come with me?
     A/F#    Asus4       A      A/B      A/F#      Asus4
We've got acres with streams. We won't keep you in cages/make you beg for your treats.
     A      A/B       A/F#      Asus4
We won't tell you to heel, though you might need some time to
  A       A/B       A/F#     Asus4
dig up those old bones your young self left behind.

        A     A/B    A/F#    Asus4       A         A/B
You said "Your offer is nice but here should suffice. Yeah, my younger years were something
     A/F#   Asus4      A       A/B
But that isn't my life. Master is all that I've got.
       A/F#    Asus4      A      A/B
He keeps me having a purpose, gives me bed, keeps me fed.
     A/F#      Asus4   A      A/B  A/F#    Asus4
And I'm just slightly nervous of what I might do if I were let loose, if I
A        A/B     A/F#    Asus4     A      A/B
Caught that mail car, or ate garbage for food. So, as I bare all my teeth
    A/F#    Asus4      A   A/B  A/F#
I will ask of you please to just leave."

      A  A/B  A/F#  Asus4
Well your heart has spoken.
  A      A/B   A/F#   Asus4
I feel you're already house broken.

      A  A/B  A/F#  Asus4
Well your heart has spoken.
  A      A/B   A/F#   Asus4
I feel you're already house-

        A   A/B      A/F#    Asus4
So I made you a hood ornament for an oncoming car
       A        A/B     A/F#    Asus4
because your bark might seem bad but I'll show you the scars
        A       A/B    A/F#    Asus4
from when the state sent you over to deliver your teeth
    A       A/B       A/F#       Asus4
to the heels of your kindred breaking chains from their feet
       A     A/B          A/F#     Asus4
and then you wipe your hands clean. Splash of water/paper napkin.
     A       A/B          A/F#     Asus4
While the parrots sing headlines, we wear the leash like a fashion.
    A      A/B      A/F#    Asus4
Try to take out my claws expect a visceral reaction.
    A     A/B      A/F#     Asus4
Try to muzzle me up, I'll lash out, I'll bite back
     A A/B A/F# Asus4
Keep my options open
   A     A/B   A/F#
for fear of becoming house-
