Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) Once out
to (C major) another part of the (G major) city
On some far away errand I went
(C major) walking one (G major) day
My path might well have been
(C major) drawn by com (G major) mittee
With all the time in the world I went
(C major) winding my (G major) way
Verse 2
(G major) It's true I've never been (C major) known for
my (G major) thinking
Some would say vague and
(C major) I'd say that's (G major) fair
But I couldn't lie to her (C major) face without
(G major) blinking
Can you believe I'd forgot
(C major) what I'd (G major) find there?
For there stood the house like it had (C major) done (G major) forever

Verse 3
Or at least since circa (C major) 1939
(G major) The house that we lived in when
(C major) we were to (G major) gether
The place that we rented
when (C major) you were still (G major) mine
The (C major) broken antenna still stuck in the roof gently (G major) rocking
Verse 4
(C major)
(G major)
(C major) An unpicked apple still hung from
the tree in the (G major) yard (C major) (G major)
I (C major) tried to peak through a window
but a curtain was (G major) blocking
I thought about (C major) knocking
Verse 5
(G major) But what would I say (C major) to whomever
answered (G major)
Would my eyes give myself (C major) away if I (G major) lied?
I could say I was collecting
(C major) the national (G major) census
And ask how many they (C major) had living in (G major) side
Verse 6
I (C major) searched through my pockets to see if
I had something to (G major) sell (C major) (G major)
A (C major) two dollar coin, an old bus ticket,
I should keep (G major) walking
For (C major) some stones are best left unturned,
but what the (G major) hell?
I (C major) rang the bell
Verse 7
(G major) The house gave an echo
from (C major) inside its (G major) belly
Sounds I recalled from days
(C major) I left my (G major) key
A footstep, a clank, someone
(C major) turn down the (G major) telly
A shadow beneath the door,
Interlude 1
it was too late to flee
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 8
(G major) I said, "Hello,
I once lived at (C major) this very (G major) address
You might know my name from some
(C major) unclaimed (G major) mail"
She said, "You should have showed
(C major) up a long time before (G major) this
But if you wait right here then I'll
(C major) go check the (G major) pile
She left me there standing
(C major) alone in the (G major) doorway
Just like the trespasser (C major) in my own (G major) brain
I took one step inside and looked
(C major) down through the (G major) hallway
Just saw the house and I (C major) went back (G major) again
Verse 9
Oh, (G major) the horror, the horror, oh,
(C major) hell and tarna (G major) tion
The wallpaper's gone now
the wall's painted green,
And a tapestry of some (C major) vulgar
cre (G major) ation
Hung where the old pictori
(C major) al once had (G major) been
Verse 10
Oh (C major) where were the poor little ghosts of
the footsteps we'd (G major) taken
(C major) Trapped 'neath the carpets now covering
those beautiful (G major) boards
(C major) Memories of you are now turning
into strips of (G major) ba con
My heart was (A minor) aching (D major)
I (G major) ran, I ran, till I (C major) ran out of run (G major) ning
Verse 11
I tried to go faster than
(C major) what I'd just (G major) seen
I fell on the footpath all (C major) breathless
and (G major) done in
Looking like I'd just come
(C major) through Halloween
(G major) (C major) (G major)
Interlude 2
(C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 12
Now (G major) some memories are precious as a diamond
And others you have to think
(C major) what they could (G major) fall
But they're best if they're left in a
(C major) place you can't (G major) find 'em
(G major) Or else you might find
someone's changed the décor.
