The Boxmasters
INTRO: G
[G]We know it's sparklin' ahead, honey I [Em]thought I'd give a call
[C]Lookin' for tomorrow to be sunny in the [D]midst of this snowfall
I've [G]let you and the kids down [Em]way too long now
I'm [C]hopin' to turn our life around if I can [D]just figure out how
CHORUS:
I'm workin' on a [G]plan to save our home
Keep us out of the [C]poor house, pay off those [D]loans
I'm workin' on a [G]plan to save our home
Keep us out of the [C]poor house, [D]and I won't do it [G]stoned
I'll sit with the grannies at the nickel machines and pull handles 'til my hands are blue
I'll do just about anything to bring a future home to you
I put down the pails of liquor, you know I tried to keep a job
I just think this'll be quicker if I can win a little off the mob
CHORUS:
I'm workin' on a plan, to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, pay off those loans
I'm workin' on a plan to save our home
Keep us out of the poor house, now that i'm not stoned
(KEY CHANGE TO A)
Well my [A]plan didn't work exactly honey but I [Fm]do have a little good news
I'm [D]not bringin' home any money but I [E]didn't turn back to booze
I [A]guess it's back to the drawin' board, i[Fm]deas are startin' to brew
I'm [D]bringin' back all I can afford and that's [E]love to the kids and you
CHORUS:
I'm workin' on a [A]plan to save our home
Keep us out of the [D]poor house, pay off those [E]loans
I'm workin' on a [A]plan to save our home
Keep us out of the [D]poor house, [E]and build a house of [A]stone
[A]Huh, uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-[D]huh, huh-[E]huh
Uh-huh-[A]huh, uh-huh-huh
Uh-huh-[D]huh,[E] huh-[A]huh
