These are the chords for A House by Doves on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
[Intro]AmAm[Verse 1]C
It was a day like this and
GAmAm
my house burnt down,
Cmaj7
And the walls were thin and
AmAm
they crashed to the ground,
Fmaj7
It was a day like this and
CCmaj7AmAm
my life unwound,
[Verse 2]C
You could've struck me a
GAmAm
line and that's okay now,
Cmaj7
We could always
AmAm
put it together again,
Fmaj7
You could've told me a lie,
C
and a lie so thin, so thin,
GAmAm
Now everything's clear.

[Interlude]FDmCG/BCC[Verse 3]C
Day after day and
GAmAm
the life goes on,
Cmaj7
And I try to see the
AmAm
good in everyone,
Fadd9Am
If I ever find myself
Am
here again,
GAmAm
I'll give everything.
