Intro: Bbmag x8
Bbmag Bb#5 Bb6 Bb#5 Bbmag
Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window which won't open
[Bb#5]far enough to let air [Bb6]in.
[(Bb6)]The house [Emaj]wins.
Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.
Bbmag Bb#5 Bb6 Bb#5 Bbmag
Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window with the crack so
[Bb#5]small that nothing gets [Bb6]within.
[(Bb6)]The house [Emaj]wins.
Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.
You don't [F#maj]have to be alone to be [Emaj]lonely,
You might as well give [Bb]in.
Bbmag x4
Bbmag Bb#5 Bb6 Bb#5 Bb
Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley and the window offers
[Bb#5]nothing in the [Bb6]din.
[(Bb6)]The house [Emaj]wins.
Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.
Bbmag Bb#5 Bb6 Bb#5
Clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones.
Bbmag Bb#5 Bb6
Fingers rake and rasp away their skin.
[(Bb6)]The house [Emaj]wins.
Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.
You don't [F#maj]have to be alone to be [Emaj]lonely,
Bbmag
You might as well give in.
Yeah you d[F#maj]on't have to be alone t[Emaj]o be lonely,
Bbmag
You might as well give in.

Bbmag Bb#5 Bb6 Bb#5 Bb Bb#5
Ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection and only one result has
trickled [Bb6]in...
[(Bb6)]The house [Emaj]wins.
Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.
Bbmag Bb#5 Bb6 Bb#5 Bb
If evil were a lesser breed than justice after all these years the righteous
[Bb#5]would have freed the world of [Bb6]sin.
[(Bb6)]The house [Emaj]wins.
Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.
You don't [F#maj]have to be alone to be [Emaj]lonely,
Bbmag

You don't [F#maj]have to be alone to be [Emaj]lonely,
Bbmag
You might as well give in.
You don't [F#maj]have to be sick to be [Emaj]dying
Bbmag
You might as well give in.
You don't [F#maj]have to have lost to be [Emaj]lost.
Bbmag
Oh give in.
You don't [F#maj]have to be alone to be [Emaj]lonely,
Bbmag
You might as well give in.
NOTES: On the verse immediately following the solo section, you may want to hold Bb
as the primary chord until "the house wins". This makes it more true to the song.
