The House Wins chords by OK Go

Capo II

[Intro]

A

[Verse 1]

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

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

[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

 A       A+       A6       A+       A       A+       A6
Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley and the window offers nothing in the din.
      D
The house wins.
           A
Oh the house always wins.

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


[Chorus]

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

D E A x6
E D A


[Verse 3]

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

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


[Chorus]

      E           D
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
            A
You might as well give in.
      E           D
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
            A
You might as well give in.
      E           D
You don't have to be sick to be dying
            A
You might as well give in.
      E          D
You don't have to have lost to be lost.
    A
Oh give in.
      E           D
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
            A
You might as well give in.
