[Verse 1]

 A augmentedA         A augmentedA+        A major 6A6        A augmentedA+        A augmentedA     A augmentedA+       A major 6A6
Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window which won't open far enough to let air in.
      D MajorD
The house wins.
           A augmentedA
Oh the house always wins.

 A augmentedA        A augmentedA+       A major 6A6        A augmentedA+        A augmentedA         A augmentedA+       A major 6A6
Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window with the crask so small that nothing gets within.
      D MajorD
The house wins.
           A augmentedA
Oh the house always wins.

[Chorus]

      E MajorE           D MajorD
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
            A augmentedA
You might as well give in.

Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley and the window offers nothing in the din.
      D MajorD
The house wins.
           A augmentedA
Oh the house always wins.

 A augmentedA        A augmentedA+      A major 6A6         A augmentedA+
Clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones.
 A augmentedA        A augmentedA+        A major 6A6
Fingers rake and rasp away their skin.
      D MajorD
The house wins.
           A augmentedA
Oh the house always wins.


[Chorus]

      E MajorE           D MajorD
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
            A augmentedA
You might as well give in.
         E MajorE           D MajorD
Yeah, you don't have to be alone to be lonely,
            A augmentedA
You might as well give in.

A augmentedA       A augmentedA+     A major 6A6      A augmentedA+     A augmentedA      A augmentedA+        A major 6A6
Ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection and only one result has trickled in...
      D MajorD
The house wins.
           A augmentedA
Oh the house always wins.

  A augmentedA      A augmentedA+        A major 6A6      A augmentedA+          A augmentedA           A augmentedA+        A major 6A6
If evil were a lesser breed then justice after all these years the righteous would have freed the world of sin
      D MajorD
The house wins.
           A augmentedA
Oh the house always wins.

You don't have to have lost to be lost.

Oh give in.
      E MajorE           D MajorD
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
