Verse 1:
C majorC G+G
I wish I had a house
C majorC G+G
I'd fill it with a girl
A minorAm (D MajorD) G+G G+G
She'd dance across the kitchen floor
C majorC G+G
And I wouldn't mind
C majorC G+G
If she stood to speak her mind
A minorAm (D MajorD) G+G G+G
'Cause she'd already be on mine
A minorAm G+G
I'd fill that house with clocks that don't keep time
A minorAm G+G G+G
That way I'd never run out of it even if I tried
C majorC D MajorD D MajorD
I wish I had a house
N.C. C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
I'd fill it up with my life
Verse 2:
C majorC G+G
I wish I had house
C majorC G+G
I'd fill it with a child
A minorAm (D MajorD) G+G G+G
She'd throw up on the kitchen tile
C majorC G+G
And I wouldn't care
C majorC G+G
If she did not brush her hair
A minorAm (D MajorD) G+G G+G
So long as she stayed away from my chair
A minorAm G+G
And I'd fill that child with words and breaths of air
A minorAm G+G G+G
Teach her how to steal and how to share
C majorC D MajorD D MajorD
I wish I had a house
N.C. C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
I'd keep my life in there
Verse 3:
C majorC G+G
But houses, they don't come cheap
C majorC G+G
And you'd get sick of me after just a few weeks
C majorC G+G
The children, they grow old and then they leave
C majorC D MajorD D MajorD
I wish I had a house
N.C. C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
Maybe I'd keep it just for me
