I've got a little house on Walnut 
Street
      G
The nights are quite, the morning's 
sweet.
        C                       
Got an old wood floor beneath my 
  D
feet,
G
That somebody's grandfather built.
          G
I bet he used to keep his lucky 
stripes on this windowsill,
           C                    
While he planned and worked that 
       D
wood until
         G
He made silk from the yellow pine.
            G
I've got a paper that says this 
house is mine,
        D
But it ain't...it belongs to time.

      Em             D  C
With morning at the window, 
                G              
sometimes I swear this old room 
D    C
glows

And somewhere between what you can 
and cannot see,
                 D
That old man is here.

      G
The neighbor lady sings all day 
long.
           G
She only stops at night to start at 
dawn.
             C                     
I swear she only knows about three 
  D
songs,
       G                           
But I find myself singing to one of
     G
 her sad old country tunes.
      C                   D       
It reminds me of an afternoon...I 
       G
was a kid and it was Saturday.
G
Just me and my dad drivin' out to 
the lake.
C                     D
Now he's just so far away...

      Em             D  C
With morning at the window, 
                G              
sometimes I swear this old room 
D    C
glows
         G
And somewhere between what you can 
and cannot see,
         D        G (4X)
He's right here...

      G
Last night I dreamed that I could 
fly.
              G
If I held my arms just right, I'd 
stay treetop high.
         C                
Hell, I may just be a bird 
      D
sometimes.
G                              G
Hanging right above it all ; a bird 
with a sad and lonesome call
     C                  D
And any moment I might fall, for 
you... again.

      Em             D  C
With morning at the window, 
                G              
sometimes I swear this old room 
D    C
glows
         G
And somewhere between what you can 
and cannot see,
   D            G (4X)
You're still here.
