Key: Dm
Intro:
G7
Dm Am x4
Verse:
Dm Bb Am Dm
I've been laying in this wreck since the dawn of days
Dm Bb Am Dm
It's been playing with my head in so many different ways
Dm Bb Am Dm
I hardly ever get a minute to these thoughts alone
Dm Bb Am C
Before they're clambering on the roof or making something out of bone
Pre-chorus:
C Am
Well since they made this their home
N.C.
It's no longer my own
Chorus:
(Lead guitar part only plays the Dm and Am on the offbeats)
Dm Dm Bb Am
Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Dm Dm Bb Am
Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Dm Dm Bb Am
Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Dm Dm Bb Am
Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Post-chorus:
Dm Dm Bb Am x4
Verse:
Dm Bb Am Dm
There are buzzards in the belfry always aiming for their mark
Dm Bb Am Dm
And countless other unhinged voices in this palace after dark
Dm Bb Am Dm
They took the timber off the roof, and now it's filling up with rain
Dm Bb Am C
Whatever burrowed through my head has made its way outside again
Pre-chorus:
C Am
Well since they made this their home
N.C.
It's no longer my own
Chorus:
Dm Dm Bb Am
Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Dm Dm Bb Am
I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Dm Dm Bb Am
I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Dm Dm Bb Am
I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Verse:
(Chords are arpeggiated on a synth throughout verse)
Dm Bb Am Dm
That's why I wrote you this letter staring back from the page
Dm Bb Am Dm
Saying I won't stay another minute and I will not be redeemed
Dm Bb Am Dm
And I know that I loved you, I loved you, I loved you
Dm Bb Am Dm
It's just lately it ain't been the same here without you
Dm Bb Am Dm
No, lately it ain't been the same here without you
Dm Bb Am C
No, lately it ain't been the same here without you
Pre-chorus:
C Am
Well since they made this their home
N.C.
It's no longer my own
Bridge:
Gm Bb Am
You can tell from the look in their eyes, oh my love
Gm Bb Am
They won't let me out dead or alive, no my love
Gm Bb Am Eb
I'm going to wait 'til they've gone to ground, oh my love
Eb Gm
Then I'll burn this mad house down
Instrumental:
Gm Eb D x4
Chorus:
Gm Eb D Gm
Now I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby
Gm Eb D Gm
I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby

I'm not welcome in this house of spirits anymore, baby

It's no longer my own
