Verse 1:
       Em      D
On an old road
C             B     Em    D   C   B   Em
leading to a lonely house
          D
it's run down
    C            B        Em   D   C   B
the garden needs clearing out
          Em        D
there's a black cat
       C        B
on an overgrown sofa
        Em        D
now its eyes are staring
C              B      Em
straight into my soul
         D
a warm breeze
    C             B
is rattling the shutters
          Em     D
does the house remember
     C         B
when it was a home?

Em    D   C   B
Em    D   C   B

Chorus:
          Am Bm7/E
There's a bedstead
    C6/E        D/E
in front of the porch;
  Am  Bm7/E
a mattress
       C6/E         D/E   Am
spread-eagle on the floor
        Bm7/E      C6/E  D/E
springs shooting through
     C
it's not somewhere I'd
           B
go for a snooze

Em  D  C  B
Em  D  C  B
Em

Verse 2:
   D
Sirens
C               B      Em    D   C   B
passing on the freeway
Em         D
Must be a fire
              C            B       Em    D   C   B
was there one here in the old days

            Em          D
There'd be signs though
C                B
soot around the frames
 Em  D
detritus
 C                B
rescued from the flames
  Em         D
a burnt sacrifice
     C            B
laid out for the gods
            Em           D
but there's none of that here
          C    B
it's just odds n sods

Em  D  C  B
Em  D  C  B

Chorus:
          Am Bm7/E
There's a bedstead
    C6/E        D/E
in front of the porch;
  Am  Bm7/E
a mattress
       C6/E         D/E   Am
spread-eagle on the floor
        Bm7/E      C6/E  D/E
springs shooting through
     C
it's not somewhere I'd
           B
go for a snooze

Bridge:
    G             D      C D
I'm watching the day go by
    G         D
the sun beats down;
       C            D
not a cloud in the sky
G               D        C    D   G
Time could be standing still
             D
Stuck in the moment,
C             D
nothing seems real

G  D  C  D
G  D  C  D
G  D  C  D
C  B

Verse 3:
       Em        D
In the back yard
  C               B     Em    D   C   B
a carpet full of stains
   Em         D
a washing machine;
             C              B     Em    D   C   B
it won't be seeing clothes again

          Em        D
There's a toy truck
C                  B
jackknifed, on its side
Em        D
left here
      C             B
by an absent minded child
  Em      D
a rusting gate
          C          B
scrapes a dissonant chord
             Em     D    C
it's just a lonely house
N.C.
now there's no one around

Em  D  C  B

Outro:
             Em     D    C
it's just a lonely house
N.C.
now there's no one around

Em  D  C  B

             Em     D    C
it's just a lonely house
N.C.
now there's no one around

Em  D  C  B   Em
