                     D
This house wasn't so good
     Em              D                  G
'Til we moved in and did what we could
                                         D
Picked up the rubbish, gave it a coat of paint
            Em                           D          C
We're gonna do a little more when things loosen up again
 
 
CHORUS:
     D           Em
Whoa-ho, in this house
        G     D                Em      G
Whoa-ho-ho ho ho, in this this house
 
 
                         D
In this house, in my own room
          Em                           D            G
Where the past and the present will be coming soon
                       D
Go up together on that bulletin board
        Em                           D                C
I wanna hang a little [ picture on it without my ward ]
 
 
CHORUS:
     D           Em
Whoa-ho, in this house
        G     D                Em     C
Whoa-ho-ho ho ho, in this this house
 
 
BRIDGE 1: 
          G     D                  Em   C
Sooner or later, everybody settles in
                 G       D                      Em   C
And chances look greater, I live and breath within
               G     D                       Em   C
But, sooner or later, everybody says [ don't go ]
       G     D              B
It was better to wait until now
 
 
CHORUS:
        Em
In this house
     G  D                Em    G  D  
Whoa-ho__, yeah, in this house
 
 
    G                       D
The people before us, their family had grown
               Em                             D 
They said they rattled in the rooms since the kids moved on
     G                                 D
They planted a tree when the first was born
           Em                        D               C
They wanna leave it behind, like the house, too much room
 
 
CHORUS:
D          Em
Whoa, this house
        G     D                Em     D  C
Whoa-ho-ho ho ho, in this this house
 
 
BRIDGE 2: 
          G     D                Em   C
Sooner or later, everybody moves on
         G   D                Em          C
Isn't it sad, [ such part are done, done ]
          G     D                   Em   C
Sooner or later, everybody says goodbye
               G       D               B
And never know whether, to laugh or to cry
 
 
CHORUS:
        Em
In this house
     G  D               Em    
Whoa-ho__, in this this house

      G                            D                     Em    
Well, freedom is my cause and with these walls, we talk about it
G    D                Em
Whoa-ho, in this this house
                                D
Ah, you get a little lease, you get a turn
   C                                    B                    Em
To plant a little something then you're all alone, you gotta move on
   G  D                 Em
Oo-oo-ooh, in this this house
    G                             D                   Em

    G                             D                   Em
You sit in this old house and you fix walls and talk about it
