Intro
Dm C G F
Dm C G A
Dm C
Don't get so distressed
G F
If the good life won't arrive
Dm C
You've been reading S.O.S.
F G
When it's just your clock reading 5:05
Dm C G A
Dm C
And why are you so possessed
G F
By the thought that she got free
Dm C
And why are you figuring who's the best
F
When just your luck ran out
G
and she chose me
A
We do not lie side by side
G
and mock the thought of you
A
And I don't take her hand and ask
G
Is this what he used to do?
A
'Cos I just want to free her from
G
Your jails of jealous dreams
Dm C G
'Cos at least a house when it's empty
F Dm
Stays clean
repeat intro
I won't pretend
That I was simply swayed
It was a two way thing not a
Three day fling
No secrets kept, no truth betrayed
And here's the house that held
The nightmare that went on
And you're sitting there wishing you'd never been born
With that self-inflicted crown of thorns
We do not lie side by side
and mock the thought of you
And I don't take her hand and ask
Is this what he used to do?
'Cos I just want to free her from
Your jails of jealous dreams
'Cos at least a house when it's empty
Stays clean
F C G
I won't pretend
F C G
That I'm the saviour of the innocent and bad
F C G
But put two withered old blooms in a couple of rooms
F C
And they'll behave like lunatics
G Dm
and crave what makes them sad
So here's a card that says
Happy twenty-second birthday and I wish you were dead
And here's a house that held
a bevy of devils and an angel as well
And you want what I've got
When all I've got is guilt
And a room that won't stay still
Filled with pockets full of crumpled up money and
a mantelpiece littered with bills
Dm C G
'Cos at least a house when it's empty
Dm C G
Yeah at least a house when it's empty
Dm C G Dm
at least a house when it's empty is clean
