The House Wins

A

[Verse 1]

 A                 A+             
Fingers blistered from the nightly
   A6               A+        
 scratching at the window which 
        A          A+              
won't open far enough to let air 
A6
in.
           D
The house wins.
                     A
Oh the house always wins.

 A                A+          
Feral cats are screaming at the 
    A6                A+          
clouds beneath the window with the
     A                  A+        
 crask so small that nothing gets 
     A6
within.
           D
The house wins.
                     A
Oh the house always wins.


[Chorus]

           E                    
You don't have to be alone to be 
  D
lonely,
                       A
You might as well give in.


[Verse 2]

 A             A+             A6 
Telephones are howling at the 
             A+             A     
cats out in the alley and the 
        A+             A6
window offers nothing in the din.
           D
The house wins.
                     A
Oh the house always wins.

  A                A+         
Clouds uncage the car alarms to 
   A6                 A+
chase the cats and telephones.
 A                A+           
Fingers rake and rasp away their 
    A6
skin.
           D
The house wins.
                     A
Oh the house always wins.


[Chorus]

           E                    
You don't have to be alone to be 
  D
lonely,
                       A
You might as well give in.
                 E                 
Yeah, you don't have to be alone to
     D
 be lonely,
                       A
You might as well give in.

[Verse 3]

A             A+          A6    
Ice age upon catastrophic ice 
        A+         A           A+
age of selection and only one 
               A6
result has trickled in...
           D
The house wins.
                     A
Oh the house always wins.

   A            A+             
If evil were a lesser breed then 
   A6           A+                
justice after all these years the 
   A                     A+       
righteous would have freed the 
        A6
world of sin
           D
The house wins.
                     A
Oh the house always wins.


[Chorus]

           E                    
You don't have to be alone to be 
  D
lonely,
                       A
You might as well give in.
           E                    
You don't have to be alone to be 
  D
lonely,
                       A
You might as well give in.
           E                   
You don't have to be sick to be 
  D
dying
                       A
You might as well give in.
           E                    D
You don't have to have lost to be 
lost.
        A
Oh give in.
           E                    
You don't have to be alone to be 
  D
lonely,
                       A
You might as well give in.
