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.

I have no idea what the correct chord names for some of these would be, so here's how you play them
(from low E to high E string).
A: x0222x
A/B: x2022x

   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.

Key change during bridge: Cadd9, D, Em7, G x2

Cadd9, D
             A             A/B
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-
