House
of Love (Difford/Tilbrook)
INTRO: A D (4x)
G# D# F#
She was full of lies and boredom,
C#
It came as no surprise
A E
That she would cheat.
F# E
Her nails were long and sharp,
A G#
But she didn't play the harp.
D# F#
She wasn't an angel I told her,
C#
But she wasn't able
A E
To understand my words,
B
Rich pickings in reverse.
C Fm
I wasn't Shakespeare
C
It's simple,
Bbm
Did she expect me
F#
To kiss her feet?
REFRAIN:
A G
A very acidic tongue
A
Waggled in her head
G
Naaa-aaa-aua-hua-anaaua
A G
Life was lots of fun
C
At times I had to smile,
B E
In front of everyone
C#m
We seemed the best of friends
D Bm
Life had just begun
C Am
When on the roof a tile began to slip,
B G#
The house of love caved in and that was it.
D# F#
She was full of tears by nature,
C#
It came to me so clearly
A E
She would creep.
F# E
Her eyes were stale and spun,
A G#
Like marbles in the sun.
D# F#
She wasn't a princess I told her,
C#
And so I witnessed
A E
The slaying of my life,
B
It lasted half the night.
C Fm
I wasn't Jesus
C
Believe me,
Bbm
Our love was seedless
F#
And incomplete.
REFRAIN
AD LIB: G#
A
REFRAIN
D# F# C# A
That was it
G# D# F# C# A
Oh, that was it (3x)
