House On A Hill

          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

Chorus:
     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

Chorus:
    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

Chorus:
    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
