Verse 1

Dm C There is a house by the sea Dm C Two jealous sisters, they're waiting for me Dm C And one is laid on the floor Dm C And one is changing the locks on the doors

Chorus 1

Dm C Dm C And I've been buying the time on my knees Dm C Dm C Dm And I've been selling their blankets to bleed on

Verse 2

Dm C Around the house by the sea Dm C The scent of roses and raspberry leaves Dm C And there is smoke in my clothes Dm C Too much time with just smoke in my nose

Chorus 2

Dm C Dm C And I've been making the meaning they lack Dm C Dm C Dm And I've been burning that book they come back too-oo

Verse 3

(Cut to only plucking chord on beat 1) Dm C There is a house by the sea Dm C And an ocean between it and me Dm C And like the shape of a wave Dm C The jealous sisters will sing on my grave

Chorus 3

(Back to full Riff) Dm C Dm C And I've been living to run where they led Dm C Dm C And I've been dying to rise from their bed Dm C Dm C And I've been sparing my neck from their chain Dm C Dm C And they've been changing the sound of my name Dm C Dm C And I've been swimming to them in my sleep Dm C Dm C Dm And we've been dreaming our love and our freedom
