verse 1:  
          D                A               G      D        
There’s a house on a hill, with a cracked window sill 
      G           D        A                 D            A 
And a roof caving into the ground,  and it’s old and it’s worn              
        G            D            G              A          D 
And the curtains are torn,  and tomorrow they’re tearing it down 
 
     D          A           D         G 
And just like a heart, it’s falling apart 
            D             G         A 
It couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew 
         D                A                D            G 
And it's been through it all, and there’s cracks in the wall 
            D         A            D 
They may as well just take me down too 

verse 2: 
          D          A             G              D 
There's a house on a hill when the night has been still                  
        G              D            A 
You can hear the years creak in the floor 
            D           A                 G             D 
And for the broken down stair, you better say your last prayer 
      G               A           D 
Cos tomorrow it won't be there no more 
 
    D             A         D        G 
And just like a heart, it’s falling apart 
            D             G         A 
It couldn't stand up if a hard wind blew 
         D               A                 D            G 
And it's been through it all, and there’s cracks in the wall 
            D         A            D 
They may as well just take me down to
