Remember this house
Verse 1:

This was the land that he worked by hand

It was the dream of an upright man

There was the room that was filled with love
DO#
It was a love that I was proud of
MIb7
This is the life, the life that he planned
DO#7
On the love, the same old love
SOL#
In the house that Jack built (the house that Jack built)
Remember this house
Verse 2:
There was a fence that held our love (yes, it was)
There was the gate that he walked out of
This is the heart, it has turned to stone (yes, it is)
This is a house, it ain't no home
This was a love that I destroyed
On the day that I toyed with love
In the house that Jack built
I'm gonna remember this house
Bridge:
FA# SOL#
Oh, what is the use of crying
FA# SOL#
You know I brought it on myself, there's no denying

But it seems awful funny

Until I lost my upright man

Up on the hill everything stands still

I'm gonna remember this house (the house that Jack built)

Listen - I got the house, I got the car

I got the rugs and I got the rent

But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back

I turned my back on Jack, he said he wasn't comin' back

Oh, Jack, you oughta come on back
Oh, Jack you oughta come on back (come on back, Jack)
To the one that you built - it's the same one you built
You oughta come on back, Jack oh, now Jack
I didn't understand 'til I lost my upright man
Come on back, Jack you oughta come on home now [fade]
