Here's House, my personal favorite off the album. The album's tuning is a little weird
but half step down is close enough and sounds good if you play it by yourself. Look
below, I wrote it all out in tab too.
INTRO: (lead below)
D A G x4
VERSE:
D A G
7 o’clock and I’m 7 deep.
D A G
Trying to shake off some chick who made my knees weak.
D A G
I plan on waking in a pile of puke
D A G
from a night spent drinking to forget you.
D A G x4
CHORUS:
G D A G D A
I think I found bravery, he was dressed in wood and strings.
G D A G D A
I embraced him as a friend and have been laughing at danger ever since.
G D A G D A
If this is growing up, I’ve been a child far too long
G D A
cause I am poised to take on the world
G D A
with this bottle of Jack on your front lawn.
G Gm
But I’m not telling you,
VERSE 2: (see below)
D A G
Cause I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news,
D A G
Cause I’d rather not upset you.
D A G
You said that everybody runs,
D A G
well you were the one I ran to.
Em G
But you’re not here anymore, case and point:

BRIDGE:
Bm A D G
That is why I’m passed out on this bathroom floor.
Bm A D G
I guess everyone was right when they said I had a little more
Bm A D G
than I should’ve in the first place, let’s talk about your face
Bm A D G
and how I won’t never ever see it again,
Bm A D
don’t fucking show your face again.
D A G x4
VERSE:
D A G D A G
You said the only place that you felt safe was in your humble home.
D A G D A G
Well darling, I couldn’t find the key so I threw a cello through your window.
D A G
You’re not safe in your house now.
D A G
You’re not safe in your house anymore.
D A G
You’re not safe in your house now.
D A G
You’re not safe in your house anymore.
