Step Inside This House Chords

(ver. 2)
Lyle Lovett
Capo 3rd fret


VERSE 1 
     C     
That picture hangin' on the wall
   F      C/E        C 
Was painted by a friend
   C                          Em
He gave it to me all down and out
F        C/E    G    
When he owed me ten
C
It doesn't look like much I guess
          F         C/E     C
But it's all that's left of him
       C                 Em
And it sure is nice from right over here
          F         C/E   G
When the light's a little dim

CHORUS
F
Step inside this house girl
     F        C/E    C
I'll sing for you a song
C                              Em
I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been
F            C/E      G
It shouldn't take too long
F
I'll show you all the things that I own
F            C/E       C
My treasures you might say
C                                    Em
It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth
F             C/E   G
They brighten up my day


VERSE 2
     C     
This book of poems was given me
     F      C/E        C 
By a girl I used to know
   C                          Em
I guess I read it front to back
F        C/E    G    
Fifty times or so
C
It's all about the good life
          F         C/E     C
And stayin' at ease with the world
       C                 Em
It's funny how I love that book
          F         C/E   G
And I never loved that girl

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3
     C     
Now you hold this piece of glass
     F      C/E        C 
Up to the light that's shinin' through the door
   C                          Em
It's a prism glass I found it on the road
F        C/E    G    
Can't you see that tiny rainbow
C
It's not really a prism I guess
          F         C/E     C
Its just kind of broke a funny way
       C                 Em
I was on my way through Houston
          F         C/E   G
And I was headed for L.A.

(CHORUS)

VERSE 4
     C     
This guitar was given me 
     F      C/E        C 
By old man Thomas Gray
   C                          Em
It's not too much to look at
F        C/E    G    
But I play it every day
C
It's been across this country
          F         C/E     C
Four or five times I guess
       C                 Em
Between me and old man Tom
          F         C/E   G
It never got much rest

(CHORUS)

VERSE 5
     C     
Well that's just about all I own
     F      C/E        C 
All I care to I guess
   C                          Em
Except this pair of boots maybe
F        C/E    G    
And that funny yellow vest
C
And that leather jacket and that leather bag
          F         C/E     C
And that hat hangin' on the wall
       C                 Em
Just so it's not too much to carry babe
          F         C/E   G
Could I see you again next Fall

(CHORUS)
