[Verse 1]
      E  F#m  G#m       A   E
They say this house is haunted
     E   F#m  G#m
But all these ghosts
      A     E
I've grown with
 C#m      G#m
As it slips away from me
 A               F#
I still hold on hopelessly
  F#m              G#m
I lay my head to sleep and
         Am
say goodnight

[Verse 2]
 E   F#m  G#m     A    E
Bringing up four daughters
 E   F#m   G#m   A    E
Made the house a fortress
 C#m              G#m
Dirty knees and honey bees
     A                 F#
And nowhere else would sting as sweet
  F#m               G#m
Can't believe we're turning
           Am
off the lights

[Verse 3]
 E    F#m G#m           A     E
And one day I'll drive past you
E  F#m G#m  A   E
If I recognise you
 C#m            G#m
I'll try not to stay too long
  A               F#
See the soil I grew upon
 F#m         G#m             Am
In a couple years I'll be alright

[Outro]
 E
So darling
           C#m
Pull the curtains
            G#m
And in the morning
       A          B
Let me lie here with you
  E                   C#m
Don't say that I'm lеaving
          G#
In the morning
       A        B
Let me liе here with you
