Verse:
         G              C      G                C
He says, "I'm just a man, I work with my hands

 G               C                   G      C
But lately no work has been around

   D                                   G
I wish that I could put more on the table

   C           G                  C                D
Provide the life I'm sure my family dreams about"


             C                    D                  G
"But there's cracks in all the walls and all the windows

        C                        D                    G
And the flies, they find their way in through the screen

 C                 D                   G
I just pray that hope will go on living

 C              D/F#                         G
In this house of a thousand dreams"

          G                  C
She says, "my husband's a good man

 G                C
Gives all that he can

 G            C                      G     C
I know he thinks he's let me down

       D                   C                 G
I just want him and the children to be happy

 C                 G                C              D
It's not always easy, but it's all I dream about"


Chorus:
          C                    D                     G
"So I'll find some yard-sale curtains for the windows

          C                  D               G
And I'll sew some yellow trim along the seams

     C                  D                   G
And I'll keep praying hope will go on living

 C              D/F#                          G
In this house of a thousand dreams"

The boy says, "my daddy's a strong man

 G               C
My momma, she loves him

 G                  C                        G
And they love my brother and sister and me

     D                   C                  G
Sometimes at night we lay out in the backyard

 C                G            C                    D
And take turns wishing on the first star we see"


Chorus:
          C                 D                   G
"And the crickets always sing outside the windows

       C                 D                       G
And I love to feel the wind blow through the screen

     C                  D             G
And I sure hope that we can live forever

 C              D/F#                       G
In this house of a thousand dreams"

       C                  D                G
"Yeah I sure hope that we can live forever

 C               D/F#                      G
In this house of a thousand dreams"
