D
A corner office was his dream
More like a prison now it seems
G
Somewhere on the corporate climb
He left his warrior behind
D
Now hes just a worker at a daily grind
Steals his years and numbs his mind
G Em
His strength is fading, his dreams are blind
This is not the life he had in mind

D
She lies awake cause hes up all night
Staring at a screen that tells him lies
G
That the grass is greener on the other side
D
So shes at the gym fighting off the years
To be young again and calm her fears
G
That shell never be enough for him
Em
Just as a young man catches her eye

D
Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars
D7M/C# D
With their cell phones and the closed doors
G D7M/C# D
It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems
G
But they're all alone together
Em
In the house of their dreams
D
Little sister, shes a sixteen-year-old princess
Lost somewhere between the swing set
G
And her brand new crushs chariot awaits
D
And big brothers rooms glowing with trophies that shout his name
G
But he'd trade all his high school fame
Em
For some backyard catch with his hero again
G D
Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars
D7M/C# D
With their cell phones and the closed doors
G D7M/C# D
It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems
G
But they're all alone together

In the house of their dreams

D
So now they're all dressed up in sunday best
Sit up straight just like the rest
G D
And they sing the songs of peace and rest that Jesus freely gives
And then their kids look up as daddy stands
And he takes his bride with trembling hands
G
Brother kneels at his fathers side as princess looks in the mothers eyes
Em
Their tears tear down the walls as daddy prays
G D
Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars
D7M/C# D
With their cell phones and the closed doors
G D7M/C# D
It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems
G
But they're all alone together
Em
In the house of their dreams
