Letra

Here s House, my personal favorite off the album. The album s tuning is a little weird 
but half step down is close enough and sounds good if you play it by yourself. Look 
below, I wrote it all out in tab too.


INTRO: (lead below)
           x4


VERSE:
                
7 o’clock and I’m 7 deep.
                       
Trying to shake off some chick who made my knees weak.
                    
I plan on waking in a pile of puke
                 
from a night spent drinking to forget you.


           x4


CHORUS:
                                               
I think I found bravery, he was dressed in wood and strings.
                                                         
I embraced him as a friend and have been laughing at danger ever since.
                                            
If this is growing up, I’ve been a child far too long
                        
cause I am poised to take on the world
                                 
with this bottle of Jack on your front lawn.
           
But I’m not telling you,


VERSE 2: (see below)
                                         
Cause I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news,
                          
Cause I’d rather not upset you.
                      
You said that everybody runs,
                          
well you were the one I ran to.
                     
But you’re not here anymore, case and point:


BRIDGE:
                                        
That is why I’m passed out on this bathroom floor.
                                              
I guess everyone was right when they said I had a little more
                                       
than I should’ve in the first place, let’s talk about your face
                       
and how I won’t never ever see it again,
                           
don’t ing show your face again.


           x4


VERSE:
                                                         
You said the only place that you felt safe was in your humble home.
                                                                 
Well darling, I couldn’t find the key so I threw a cello through your window.
                      
You’re not safe in your house now.
                      
You’re not safe in your house anymore.
                      
You’re not safe in your house now.
                      
You’re not safe in your house anymore.



Throughout the 1st and 3rd verse, the other guitar plays this:

Bb|-10/7-7---5/7-7-----10/7--7--5/7--7---|
Gb|--------------------------------------|
Db|--------------------------------------|
Ab|--------------------------------------|
Eb|--------------------------------------|

And for the second verse I think the riff he plays is this:
              
eb|---------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------|
Gb|-----9---------------------|
Db|---7-------9-----7---------|
Ab|-5-------7-----5-----------|
Eb|-------5-----3-------------|



For the verse, use these chord voicings:

Db|-7-7-x-7-7-x---5----5-------5-----|
Ab|-5-5-x-7-7-x---5----5-------5-----|
