House On A Hill(Chords)

	        
 


verse 1:  
          D                A               G      D        
There?s a house on a hill, with a cracked window sill 
      G           D        A                 D            A 
And a roof caving into the ground,  and it?s old and it?s worn              
        G            D            G              A          D 
And the curtains are torn,  and tomorrow they?re tearing it down 
 
     D          A           D         G 
And just like a heart, it?s falling apart 
            D             G         A 
It couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew 
         D                A                D            G 
And it's been through it all, and there?s cracks in the wall 
            D         A            D 
They may as well just take me down too 


verse 2: 
          D          A             G              D 
There's a house on a hill when the night has been still                  
        G              D            A 
You can hear the years creak in the floor 
            D           A                 G             D 
And for the broken down stair, you better say your last prayer 
      G               A           D 
Cos tomorrow it won't be there no more 
 
    D             A         D        G 
And just like a heart, it?s falling apart 
            D             G         A 
It couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew 
         D               A                 D            G 
And it's been through it all, and there?s cracks in the wall 
            D         A            D 
They may as well just take me down to 


Instrumental: D   A   G  D   A   G 

Bridge:  

A                         G           D 
No one's gonna oil up the rust in the door 
    A                           G        D 
The birds and the mailman don't stop anymore 
       D            F# 
And it stands all alone  
        G        
I guess I should have known 
       D           A        D 
That a house ain't always a home 

    D           A          D         G 
And just like a heart, I?m falling apart 
           D             G         A 
I couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew 
         D               A                D             G 
And I?ve been through it all, and there?s cracks in the wall 
            D         A                     D 
They may as well just take me down too 
                      D           A                     D 
They may as well just take me down too
