Dave Hause

Helluva Home

by Dave Hause
Dave Hause

Biography:

The lead singer of punk band The Loved Ones. In January 2011, he released his debut solo album, 'Resolutions', through Paper + Plastick records - touring extensively to promote it. A statement from the label, quoted on punknews.org, described the record's origins:

"While writing the follow-up to the last Loved Ones release (2009's Distractions, Fat Wreck Chords), Hause was writing songs that didn't seem like they would fit on a Loved Ones record.

There's a key change after the bridge which explains all the chords.

I play the D as an open chord at the very end, but you pretty much have to play it as a
power chord in the chorus after the key change in order to cleanly play the progression.

Song is pretty easy once you get the hang of playing all the chords, but feel free to ask
if you have any questions.

[Intro]

C C/B Am C/B (x3)

F G

C C/B Am C/B (x2)

[Verse]

C F C
Their sidewalks, songs and their knuckles are cracked
F C G
And they ring like an old broken bell
C F C
They kick and they scream, they call it brotherly love
F C G
And it seems like a living hell
Am G F C
But the pavement connects, and the knuckles protect
Am G F
And the cracked songs help heal the wounds
C F C
And they huddle together fight off the cold
Am G F
They kick scream and sing out of tune
Am G C G
And wait for the flowers to bloom

[Chorus]

C C/B Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B
Where else would I go
Am C/B
It’s all I know
F
It’s a hell
G C C/B Am C/B C C/B Am C/B
It’s a helluva home

[Verse]

C
Out here it’s all earthquakes, plastic,
F C
and the hills are on fire
F C G
Styrofoam, tan moms and drought
C F C
I ain’t seen a black girl in 28 days
F C G
And I’m starting to have my doubts
Am G
No rain’s got me withering
F C
but at least I’m not shivering
Am G F
I can breathe here without all the gloom
C F C
We got our feet in the sand, endless possible land
Am G F
Bathing in the sun and the moon
Am G C G
With wildflowers always in bloom

[Chorus]

C C/B
It’s a helluva home
Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B
It’s a helluva home
Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B
Where else would I go
Am C/B
It’s all I know
F G
It’s a hell

[Chorus]

C C/B
It’s a helluva home
Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B
It’s a helluva home
Am C/B
It’s a helluva home
C C/B
Where else would I go
Am C/B
It’s all I know
F
It’s a hell
G Am
It's a helluva home

[Bridge]

C
I got used to waving goodbye
Dm
I got tired of grinding
F
in a giant city waiting to die
G
Yeah

[Chorus]

D D/C#
It’s a helluva home
G D/C#
It’s a helluva home
D D/C#
It’s a helluva home
G D/C#
It’s a helluva home

Where else would I go
G A
It’s all I know
G A
It’s a hell

It’s a helluva home
B5 D/C#
It’s a helluva home
D D/C#
It’s a helluva home
B5 D/C#
It’s a helluva home
D D/C#
Where else would I go
B5 D/C#
It’s all I know

It’s a hell
A D D/C# B5
It’s a helluva home
D/C# D D/C# B5 D/C# D D/C# B5 D/C# D D/C# B5 D/C# D
Helluva home

[Outro]

D G D
You go east you go west you get tarnish and sheen
G D A
The trick is to live with the two
D G D
For now I’ll sing here with less in a world in between
Bm A G
As long as I’m singing with you
Bm A D
I want to sing it with you
