COME ON UP TO THE HOUSE TOM WAITS
Capo 3rd Fret
C Am F C
Well the moon is broken and the sky is cracked
C Am
Come on up to the house
C Am F C
The only things that you can see, is all that you lack
C G C
You gotta Come on up to the house
All your cryin' don't do no good
Come on up to the house
Come down of the cross, we can use the wood
Come on up to the house
C
Come on up to the house
C Am
Come on up to the house
C Am F C
The world is not my home I'm just passin' thru'
C G C
You gotta Come on up to the house
There's no light in the tunnel, no irons in the fire
Come on up to the house
And you're singin' lead soprano in a junkman's choir
You gotta Come on up to the house
Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy and you can't find no port
Come on up to the house
Chorus
There's nothin' in the world that you can do
You gotta Come on up to the house
And you've been whipped by the forces that are inside you
Come on up to the house
Well you're high on top of your mountain of woe
Come on up to the house
Well you know you should surrender but you can't let go
You gotta Come on up to the house
Chorus (x3)
C G F
ends ... Come on up to the hou..use
