D                             G             D 
Somewhere in the dark tonight 2 are beatin' fast 
Bm                 D             A7 
Lyin' still in the arms of love, waves of passion pass 
     G                    D         D/F#      Bm                G 
They love each other with all their might but can't help but be afraid

Chorus: 
D                            G                 D 
This house was built by man, I saw him mix the mortar 
D                            A7 
This house was built by man, I saw him tyin' steel 
D                                 G            D 
This house was built by man outta concrete and water 
D                           A7        D 
This house was built by the hand of a man 
 
 
Somewhere in the dark tonight a new heart's beatin' fast 
Lyin' still in the arms of love, tiny fingers grasp 
That sweet little has heard not a word about original sin 
As fast as you can to the house of man so Peter can let him on in 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
SOLO 
 
 
Somewhere in the dark tonight an old heart's fadin' fast 
These damned things they were meant to love they weren't meant to last 
But now I'm dyin' but I spent my life tryin' to do the best I can 
I'd only be fine if I spent enough time sittin' in the house of man 
 
 
Chorus 
 
D                           A7        G      D 
This house was built by the hand of a man
