D 
We buy the morning paper we

read the sports and arts
A 
We avoid the front page and the busi

G 
it's a real horror show

house now so we'll have to stay
A 
You can't up and walk out on me
G

G

Let's hold on to each other
And the happiness we had

Suppose we found a buyer we could

go our separate ways
A 
And consider all our time togeth

Verse 5
I bought this house 8 years ago
G 
you made this place our home
A 
We loved and fought and laughed and cried
G

tears in our eyes have shone
Our house has lost some

A 
G 
Till then let's stay together no
D 
we can't sell our house
