*Capo 3rd fret
LAm
My life is a house
SIdim
you crawl through the window
MI LAm
slip across the floor and into the reception room
LAm SIdim
you enter the place of endless persuasion
MI
like a knock on the door
LAm
when there's ten or more things to do
DO FA MIm SOL
Who is that calling?
DO FA MIm SOL
you my companion
DO FA MI
run to the water on a burning beach
LAm MI
and it brings me relief
Pass through the walls
to find my intentions
circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
a million points of light
and a conversation I can't face
Cast me off one day
to lose my inhibition
sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
LAm MI LAm MI
wear the nails on your feet
I woke up the house
stumbled in sideways
the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!"
the savage review
it left me gasping
but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too
Total surrender
your touch is so tender
DO FA SOL
your skin is like water on a burning beach
DO FA MIm SOL
and it brings me relief
DO FA SOL
Like a night in your mind
it brings me relief
in the back door
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
in the back room
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
SIdim x2343x
(I actually prefer Bm7b5 because it's easier to finger: x2323x)
The C F Em G progression on the chorus can be substituted with
C C/F C/E G for an interesting-sounding variation.
C/F 132010 (just an open C with F as the root)
C/E 032010 (likewise, you include the low E)
