D A
It's raining in my house tonight
G D
Roof's leaking everywhere
D Am
It's overflowing buckets
C D
And pouring down the stairs
G D
Taking spins around the hallway
Bm A G
Then rambling out the door
D
Out across the highway
Am G D
And down the empty pier
D A
Then deep into the river
G D
The water it does fall
D Am
I hear the river rising
C D
As I listen through my wall
G D
And everytime it rains
Bm A G
And every time I cry
G D
It's just another current
Am G Am C
In that river flowing by
G D
Somebody's home
Bm A G
Though you ache and feel alone
G D C G
Someone you've always known
G D
Somebody's home
SOLO
D A
There's a fire in my house tonight
G D
It's climbing up the stairs
D Am
It's tearing thru my photographs
C D
And choking off the air
G D
And now the walls are burning too
Bm A G
And the roof is crashing in
G D
And finally there's only flames
Am G D
Where once my house had been
D A
As embers fall the flame take off
G D
In spirals to the sky
D Am
Then turn into the blazing stars
C D
That thru the heavens fly
G D
And though I mourn my own four walls
Bm A G
I try to understand
G D
I can see my wooden house
Am G Am C
In the ashes in my hand
G D
Somebody's home
Bm A G
Though you ache and feel alone
G D C G
Someone you've always known
G D
Somebody's home
G D
Somebody's home
Bm A G
Though you ache and feel alone
G D C G
Someone you've always known
G D
Somebody's home
