House Of Regret chords by Wild Sweet Orange

intro:

Bm A G x4:


verse 1:

Bm                  A                G
I have a friend and when he sings, I cry
        Bm                     A                   G
All the memories inside try to rebirth and give me life
    Bm           A               G
But I can't talk about old times tonight
       Bm                    A                G
'Cause round here the lights stay off all the time

chorus 1:

     D
It's seven o'clock
  F#m
I already feel late
        G
All the pain from my stress, I'm beating my chest
      A
About decisions I've had to make
     D
Well I breathe in like
    F#m
And I breathe out light
       G
Run my hands through my hair, see my breath in the air
    A
Oh, I'm so tired of running


verse 2:

     Bm       A                  G
When all your bad boys have gone sour
           Bm              A            G
And you're shivering cold, alone in his shower
             Bm   A              G
Oh baby that soap won't make you clean
                 Bm            A       G
Oh, screaming at Jesus just to let you bleed


chorus 2:

     D
It's seven-thirty
                F#m
I can smell the candles burning
        G
I could go to sleep now
       A
I just wait 'till morning
         D                         F#m
When the melodies come and sing me stories
    G
Oh, birds that can talk
                  A
No, they're never boring


verse 3:

              Bm                        A               G
Well, there's nothing like hearing that girl cry on the receiver
         Bm               A                        G
And your stomach hurts so bad 'cause you think you need her
       Bm              A          G
So you down that cough syrup, you love feeling so screwed up
        Bm                       A                G
And you crawl up those steps and read yourself to sleep
          Bm                       A                G
Yeah, you crawl up those steps and sing yourself to peace


chorus 3:

     D
It's eight o'clock
           F#m
She didn't eat today
      G                                   A
Yeah, hurting herself has never felt this great
      D
Well, see that green hill, friend?
                 F#m
That's where I'm gonna be
         G                              A
Watching glory coming in in the form of morning


verse 4:

Bm                  A    G
I was found on that dark hillside
       Bm      A              G
With a certain painting by my side
           Bm    A                 G
Screaming "knock down the house of regret"
         Bm            A
Knock it down, pave it over,
          G
'Till you feel younger and younger
         Bm            A
Knock it down, pave it over,
          G
'Till you feel like a kid again


         Bm            A
Knock it down, pave it over
          G
Till your heart's warmer and warmer
         Bm            A
Knock it down, pave it over
         G
Till you wake up born again
