House of Their Dreams Casting Crowns
[Intro]
[D] [D/G]
[Verse 1]
[D] A corner office was his dream
More like a prison now it s[G2]eems
Somewhere on the corporate climb
He left his warrior be[D]hind.
Now he's just a worker at a daily grind,
Steals his years and numbs his m[G2]ind.
His strength is fading, his dreams are blind
[Em7]This is not the life he had [D]in mind.
[Interlude]
[D] [D/G]
[Verse 2]
[D] She lies awake as he's up at night
Staring at his screen that tells him l[G2]ies
That the grass is greener on the other side
So she's[D] at the gym fighting off the years
To be young again and calm her fears
That she'l[G2]l never be enough for him
Just as[Em7] a young man catches her [D]eye.
[Cborus 1]
Now they're trapped in their [G2]own worlds and their o[D]wn wars
With their c[Asus]ell phones and the c[Bm7]losed doors
It's f[G2]unny how quiet and p[D]eaceful that it s[Bm7]eems.
But they're [G2]all alone together[Em7]
In the house of [D]their dreams.[D/G]
[Verse 3]
Little sister, she's a[D] sixteen-year-old princess
Lost somewhere between the swing set
And her[G2] brand new crush's chariot awaits
And big br[D]other's rooms glowing with trophies that shout his name
But he'd trade all his high school f[G2]ame
For some backyard catch with his he[Em7]ro again
[Cborus 2]
Now they're trapped in their [G2]own worlds and their o[D]wn wars
With their c[Asus]ell phones and the c[Bm7]losed doors
It's f[G2]unny how quiet and p[D]eaceful that it s[Bm7]eems.
But they're [G2]all alone together[Em7]
In the house of [D]their dreams.[D/G]
[Verse 4]
So now they're a[D]ll dressed up in Sunday best
Sit up straight just like the rest
And they [G2]sing the songs of peace and rest that Jesus freely gi[D]ves
[D]And then their kids look up as daddy stands
And he takes his bride with trembling hands
[G2] Brother kneels at his father's side as princess looks in her mother's eyes
Their t[D/G]ears tear down the [F#m7]walls as daddy p[Em7]rays
[Cborus 3]
We're trapped in our [G2]own worlds and our o[D]wn wars
With our [Asus]cell phones and our c[Bm7]losed doors
God, o[G2]nly You can s[D]ave our fam[Bm7]ily
And [G2]on this Rock, we'll build
[D/F#]On this Rock, we'll b[Em7]uild
The house of our dre[D]ams [D/G]
