House Of Regret

Bm A G 4x Bm A G I have a friend and when he sings, I cry Bm A G All the memories inside try to rebirth and give me life Bm A G But I can't talk about old times tonight Bm A G 'Cause round here the lights stay off all the time D It's seven o'clock F#m I already feel late G All the pain from my stress, I'm beating my chest A About decisions I've had to make D Well I breathe in like F#m And I breathe out light G Run my hands through my hair, see my breath in the air A Oh, I'm so tired of running Bm A G When all your bad boys have gone sour Bm A G And you're shivering cold, alone in his shower Bm A G Oh baby that soap won't make you clean Bm A G Oh, screaming at Jesus just to let you bleed D It's seven-thirty F#m I can smell the candles burning G I could go to sleep now A I just wait 'till morning D F#m When the melodies come and sing me stories G Oh, birds that can talk A No, they're never boring Bm A G Well, there's nothing like hearing that girl cry on the receiver Bm A G And your stomach hurts so bad 'cause you think you need her Bm A G So you down that cough syrup, you love feeling so screwed up Bm A G And you crawl up those steps and read yourself to sleep Bm A G Yeah, you crawl up those steps and sing yourself to peace D It's eight o'clock F#m She didn't eat today G A Yeah, hurting herself has never felt this great D Well, see that green hill, friend? F#m That's where I'm gonna be G A Watching glory coming in in the form of morning Bm A G I was found on that dark hillside Bm A G With a certain painting by my side Bm A G Screaming "knock down the house of regret" Bm A Knock it down, pave it over, G 'Till you feel younger and younger Bm A Knock it down, pave it over, G 'Till you feel like a kid again Bm A Knock it down, pave it over G Till your heart's warmer and warmer Bm A Knock it down, pave it over G Till you wake up born again Bm A G 4x end on D
