Tom: C
C
let's get an apartment
C
with orange shag carpet
Am
and tear it up from the floor
G
and we'll laugh about the losers
F C
who dared to live there before
C
or let's get a place
C
with a rotted ceiling
Am
so it's only a matter of time
G
before the ceiling caves in
F C
and we've got better views of the sky
[Pre-chorus]
Am G C
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Am G C F
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
[Verse 2]
C
let's plant the garden
C
when the ground is real hard
Am
and we'll watch the impossible grow
G
and the fruit will be sweeter
F C
because we believed it be so
C
and let's draw plans for
C
our own kind of mansion
Am
with tunnels and secret rooms
G
and abandon our schemes
F C
for a loft that is built for two
[Chorus]
Am G C
oh my walls might creek and cry
Am G C F
oh my floors might shift and mourn
Am G
but if you're looking for a place
C F Am
to spend the night
F
come on in
G C
and make yourself at home
[Verse 3]
C
and if you want a fix'er upper
C
You’re gonna have to love her
Am
or the whole thing will just fall apart
G
and i know it's cliché
F C
but it works quite the same with the heart
C
and if you want happy endings
C
you've got to stop singing
Am
before the song is quite done
G
so i leave out the bit where
F C
you leave and i learn to move on
[Chorus]
Am G C
oh my walls might creek and cry
Am G C F
oh my floors might shift and mourn
Am G
but if you're looking for a place
C F Am
to spend the night
F
come on in
G Am G C
and make yourself at home
F
come on in
G C
and make yourself at home
