[Verse 1]
C
We had the house where everybody came
C
We had the music, we played the games
C
And nobody's parents worried 'bout mine
C
My mother never left one child behind
G
Live by the park where all the kids played
C
There was my dog in a superman cape
G
Hop in the waggon, headed to the lake
C
Hey it's your birthday, mother made a cake
[Pre-Chorus]
C
This was the house where everybody hang
C
Ask all my friends they'll tell you the same
C
Was it the house or was it the gang
C
Or a phenomenon no one can explain
[Chorus]
F
The house
C
The house
[Verse 2]
C
My folks got divorced when I was like three
C
I understand they weren't meant to be
C
But dad got remarried and mom did too
C
To the father of a kid who went to my school
G
Me and my brothers and my little sis
C
Never saw mother happy like this
G
So we sold the house and moved into his
C
Now 2 adults and 7 cool kids
[Pre-Chorus]
C
This was the house where everybody grew
C
So much to see and every window
C
The band's in the basement putting on a show
C
The girls in the living room playing nintendo
[Chorus]
F
The house
C
The house
[Verse 3]
G
3+4, come knock on my door
C
Never the same kid you saw before
G
Business out front, the party's back there
C
I'm talking about my house and not my brother's hair
[Pre-Chorus]
C
We had the house where everybody came
C
We had the music we played the games
C
And nobody's parents worried 'bout mine
C
My mother never left one child behind
[Chorus]
F
The house
C

[Pre-Chorus]
C
We had the house where everbody hang
C
Ask all my friends they'll tell you the same
C
Was it the house or was it the gang
C
Or a phenomenon no one can explain?
[Outro Chorus]
