VERSE
The [Cm]sun is up and the shades are all pulled [Ab7]down
I'm more [Bb]paranoid with [G/B]every little [Cm]sound
Like the [Cm]leaf blower blowing the leaves [Ab7]around
And a [G7]siren wailing on the other side of [Cm]town
VERSE
Oh the [Cm]TV's on and the colors really hurt my [Ab7]head
If I could [Bb]think straight I'd [G/B]wish that I was [Cm]dead
Or [Cm]curled up naked in my lover's [Ab7]bed
Instead I'm [G7]hanging over Hell suspended by a single [Cm]thread
CHORUS
And I don't [Fm7]recall who said it at this [Bb]time
That your [Ab]enemies grow [Eb]strong on what you [Bb]leave behind
I built it [Fm7]up and the wolf he came [Bb]around
He huffed and [Ab]puffed, he huffed and [Eb]puffed
He huffed and [G7/D]puffed,
He huffed and [Cm]puffed and the [Fm7]house [G7]fell [Cm]down
INSTRUMENTAL
Cm | Fm/C Cm | Cm | Fm/C Cm |
VERSE
With a [Cm]rolled up note I'm hovering on that [Ab7]line
Three [Bb]days on a diet of[G/B] cocaine and [Cm]wine
And a [Cm]little weed just to level me some[Ab7]time
I put the [G7]clock in the drawer 'cause I've cancelled out the [Cm]time
CHORUS
And still that [Fm7]saying gets inside my [Bb]head
That your [Ab]enemies grow [Eb]strong on what you [Bb]leave behind
I built it [Fm7]up and the wolf he came [Bb]around
He huffed and [Ab]puffed, he huffed and [Eb]puffed
He huffed and [G7/D]puffed,
He huffed and [Cm]puffed and the [Fm7]house [G7]fell [Cm]down
BREAKDOWN
So don't [Am7b5]knock on my door, don't try to call
I'm [Ab7]holed up in this room talking to the wall
When you're as [Am7b5]high as this you think you know it all
When you're [Ab7]this deep in there's no place else to [G]fa[G/A]ll[G/B] [G/A] [G7]
INSTRUMENTAL
Cm | Ab7 | Bb G/B | Cm
"I'm bottoming out"
Cm | Ab7 | G7 | Cm
CHORUS
And I don't [Fm7]recall who said it at this [Bb]time
That your [Ab]enemies grow [Eb]strong on what you [Bb]leave behind
I built it [Fm7]up and the wolf he came [Bb]around
He huffed and [Ab]puffed, he huffed and [Eb]puffed
He huffed and [G7/D]puffed,
He huffed and [Cm]puffed and the [Fm7]house [G7]fell [Cm]down
And still that [Fm7]saying gets inside my [Bb]head
That your [Ab]enemies grow [Eb]strong on what you [Bb]leave behind
I built it [Fm7]up and the wolf he came [Bb]around
He huffed and [Ab]puffed, he huffed and [Eb]puffed
He huffed and [G7/D]puffed,
He huffed and [Cm]puffed and the [Fm7]house [G7]fell [Cm]down
And the [Fm7]house [G7]fell [Cm]down
