Strum
D-DU-UDU
 My life is a house.  you crawl through the window,
 slip across  the floor, and into the reception room.
 You enter the place of endless persuasion,
 like a knock  on the door when there`s ten or more things to do.
  Eflat Aflat Gm7 Bflat Eflat
  Who was that calling? You, my companion,
 Eflat Aflat Gm7 Eflat Aflat G7
  run to the water on a burning beach,
  Aflatmaj7/  flat
 and it brings me relief.
 Aflat /
 Pass through the walls to find my intentions, circle round
 in a strange hypnotic state.  I look into space, there is no connection,
 a million points  of light and a conversation i cant face,
  Eflat Aflat Gm7 Bflat Eflat
 Cast me off one day. to lose my inhibitions
  Aflat Gm7 Eflat Aflat G7
  sit like a lap-dog on a matron`s knee.
  Aflatmaj7/C Eflat Aflat
 Wear the nails on your feet.
 8BAR INTERLUDE
 I woke up the  house, stumbled in sideways,  the lights  went on,
 and everybody screamed surprise.  The savage review, it left me gasping
 but it warms  my heart to see that you can do it too.
  Eflat Aflat Gm7 Bflat/6 Eflat
  Total surrender. Your touch is so tender.
 Aflat Gm7 Bflat/6 Bflat
  Your skin is like water on a burning beach,
  Eflat Aflat Gm7
 and it brings me relief,
