1.    It’s hard to wake up when the shades have been pulled shut,

 

    this house is haunted, it’s so pathetic.

                                       C                                     Am

    It makes no sense at all, I’m ripe with things to say,

                                           G

    the words rot and fall away,

 

    if a stupid poem could fix this home,

                                F

    I’d read it every day.

 

                                C                       F                                                 C

So here’s your holiday, hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away.

             F                                                 C

It was mine, so when you’re dead and gone,

                   F                                                           C

will you remember this night ? Twenty years now lost, it’s not right.

 

+  C - Em - Am - G (2x)

 

    C                                    Am                                                       G

2.     Their anger hurts my ears, been running strong for seven years,

 

    rather than fix the problems, they never solve them.

                                       C                              Am

    It makes no sense at all, I see them every day,

                                                   G

    we get along, so why can’t they ?

 

    If this is what he wants and it’s what she wants,

                                               F

    then why’s there so much pain ?

 

+  CHORUS

 

+  C - F - G (4x)       +  F - C     - F - C     - F

So here’s your holiday, hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away.

             F                                                 C

It was mine, so when you’re dead and gone,

                   F                                                           C               F

will you remember this night ? Twenty years now lost, it’s not right.
