Come On Up To The House

Tom Waits


Tom: E

E                  B
Well the moon is broken
         A      E
And the sky is cracked
E         B        C#m     
Come on up to the house
           E                   B
The only things that you can see

   A             E 
Is all that you lack
E         B         E
Come on up to the house

(base)
All your cryin don't do no good
Come on up to the house
Come down off the cross
We can use the wood
Come on up to the house

REFRAO

E
Come on up to the house
                     C#m
Come on up to the house
               E      B       
The world is not my home
            A      E     
I'm just a passin' thru
E          B        E
Come on up to the house


(base)
There's no light in the tunnel 
No irons in the fire
Come on up to the house
And your singin lead soprano
In a junkman's choir
You gotta come on up to the house

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy 
And you can't find no port
Come on up to the house
There's nothin in the world

REFRÃO

(base)
there's nothin in the world 
that you can do 
you gotta come on up to the house
and you been whipped by the forces
that are inside you
come on up to the house
well you're high on top
of your mountain of woe
come on up to the house
well you know you should surrender
but you can't let go
you gotta come on up to the house

REFRÃO
