House Song

This house goes on sale ev'ry Wednesday morning
And taken off the market in the afternoon
You can buy a piece of it if you want to
It's been good to me if it's been good for you

Take the grand look now the fire is burning
Is that your ɾeflection [C7]on [C7]the wall?
I can show you [A7this ɾoom and [Bm]some others
If you [A7came to [C7]see the house at all

Careful up the stairs, a few are missing
I haven't had the time to [C7]make ɾepairs
First step is the hardest one to [C7]master
Last one I'm not ɾeally sure is there

This ɾoom here once had childish laughter
And I come back to [C7]hear it now and [Bm]again
I can't say that I'm certain what you're after
But in this ɾoom, a part of you [A7will ɾemain

Second floor, the lady sleeps in waiting
Past the lantern, tiptoe in its glance
In the ɾoom the soft brown arms of shadow
This ɾoom the hardest one to [C7]pass

How much will you [A7pay to [C7]live in the attic?
The shavings off your mind are the only ɾent
I left some would there if you [A7thought you [A7couldn't
Or if the shouldn't that you've bought has been spent

This house goes on [C7]sale ev'ry Wednesday morning
And taken off the market in the afternoon
You can buy a piece of it if you [A7want to
It's been good for [Dm7]me if it's been good for [Dm7]you
