At nights it... days are.... in - side

[Verse 1]
C G G/D C Dm7/A
There's a house with no door, I'm living there
G6 Bb F
At nights it gets cold, and the days are hard to bear inside
C G G/D C Dm7/A
There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in
G6 Bb F
Falling through my head as I try to think out time

C C/B C/A
I don't know you, you say you know me, that may be so
C/G F
There's so much that I am unsure of
C C/B C/A
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel
C/G F
My body's rejecting the cure
D D Dsus4 D

[Verse 2]
C G G/D C Dm7/A
There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls
G6 Bb F
I sometimes find it hard to tell if any are alive at all outside
C G G/D C Dm7/A
There's a house with no sound, yes, it's quiet there
G6 Bb F
There's not much point in words if there's no-one to share in time

C C/B C/A
I've learned my lines, I know them so well, I'm ready to tell
C/G F
Whoever will finally come in
C C/B C/A
Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night, it doesn't seem right
C/G F
When there's that little dark figure running
D D Dsus4 D
Will somebody help me?

[Verse 3]
C G G/D C Dm7/A
There's a house with no door, there's no living there
G6 Bb F
One day it became a wall, well, I didn't really care at the time
C G G/D C Dm7/A
There's a house with no light, all the windows are sealed
G6 Bb F
Overtaxed and strained, now nothing is revealed, but time

C C/B C/A
I don't know you, you say you know me, that may be so
C/G F
There's so much that I am unsure of
C C/B C/A
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel
C/G F
My body's rejecting the cure
D D Dsus4 D
Won't somebody help me?
