  			Intro {D}{A7}{D} 
 
D The walls that surround us 
are slowly crumblin' down 
But the heart of this foundation 
is A7 still on solid ground 
Just need some renovation 
and a lot of TLC 
And a long night of lovin' 
is all that we both D need 
 
     Chorus: 
     So, roll the shades down 
     lock the doors up tight 
     turn on the code-a-phone 
     If the door bell rings 
     we'll just stay in bed 
     and A7 pretend nobody's home 
     Let the neighbors think we moved away 
     or forgot to pay the rent 
     There ain't nothing wrong with this old house 
     it just needs a little home D improvement. 
 
Instrumental Break {D}{A7}{D} 
 
D Every day we go our separate ways 
to make our dreams come true 
But it ain't worth the sacrifice 
if we're A7 giving up me and you 
We gotta hold on tighter than tight 
to the ties that make us strong 
And get back to the roots 
that made this house a D home 
 
Repeat Chorus 2X
