Tear Down These Houses

E|--------------------------------

E|----------| 

This is in its original Key.
Put a capo on the 1st fret for 
easier playing or transpose 1 
semitone lower if it fits better to 
your voice

The chords are almost always the 
same but the duration of the bars 
change during the song
- 1st part of the Verse is slower
- 2nd part of the verse chords 
change at half of the time of the 
1st half
- during chorus chords change 
easily, at any word

[Intro]
Fm Ab Bb C# x2


[Verse 1]
C#              Fm
  Sometimes what you say
Ab                    Bb
  Confuses what you mean
C#               Fm
  A mouth of strangled words
Fm                  Ab
  Come spinning out your mouth
Ab                   Bb      C#
  Nothing's like the dream
C#                 Fm  Ab
Forget the words I say
Bb      C#           Fm    Ab
Just let them hit the ground
Bb     C#
As long as we can


[Chorus]
Fm   Ab      Bb     C#
Tear down these houses

Fm   Ab      Bb     C#
Tear down these houses
(pause)


[Verse 2]
N.C.            Fm
You can run away
Ab                          Bb
  While I protect the way I am
C#                   Fm
  There's comfort in the pain
                   Ab
Ripping through my heart
                        Bb       C#
That kicks you when you're land
Fm    Ab           Bb
Stand down on your demons
C#                    Fm
'Cause no one wins this war
      Ab             Bb
You've sharpened your weapons
    C#             Fm
For another useless cause
Ab             Bb
There'll be no survivors
C#
As long as we can

[Chorus]

Fm   Ab      Bb     C#
Tear down these houses
Fm   Ab      Bb     C#
Tear down these houses


[Bridge]
(single strum played slowly)
F             Bbm
What have you done to me
F             Bbm
And what have I done to you
Ab          Cm           Ab
Facing each other to the death
         Cm
No other soul to witness…

[Instrumental]
Fm Ab Bb C#

[Verse 3]
C#               Fm
  A mouth of strangled words
                  Ab
Come spinning out your mouth
                   Bb      C#
Nothing's like the dream
   (stands on C#)
Nothing's like the dream
C#
As long as we can


[Chorus]
Fm   Ab      Bb     C#
Tear down these houses
Fm   Ab      Bb     C#
Tear down these houses
