Verse 1:

In an old house in a small town called High Hope

We didn't mind the quaking

Verse 2:
E minorEm
We gathered in the same room,

But as the house shook and the ghosts looked in we moved.
E minorEm
Through the ceiling I screamed at you -
C majorC E minorEm
I said, "These bonds are wearing thin. Can you get us through?"
Chorus:
C majorC E minorEm
In a town called High Hope
C majorC E minorEm
We do our best to sing a weary song.
C majorC E minorEm
We fill our lungs to blow these walls out,
C majorC E minorEm
But it takes, it takes wind to knock this house down.
Verse 3:
E minorEm
It came whistling round the corner
C majorC
And from our separate rooms we felt it coming through
E minorEm
The cracks in the windows,
C majorC E minorEm
Stirring up the dust - yeah the wind blew.
