[Verse]
DmRemember saying Call the places Gwe'd go
DmOnce we'd found the rCoad to take us tGhere
But we Dmspend too much time Cwaiting by the Gwindow
And Fmaj7ended up not goiCng anywhereG  
DmNever thought you'd Cbe the kind for Gleaving
DmBut you always thought I'd Cbe the one to runG  
DmYeah, but you can't get a Cstain out of the Gceiling
When Fmaj7you don't know where the wateCr's coming fromG  
[Chorus]
There's a Dmroom in Cevery-Gone
Where a cDmold answeCr can be foundG  
And if a Dmword can Cknock down a Gwall
Then this Fmaj7house is just a box Con the groundG  
[Verse]
DmWonder if we're Cspeaking the same Glanguage
DmNothing I hear Cmakes much sense at allG  
DmAnd I can't Cever shake this foreign Gfeeling
And Fmaj7you could never telCl me what it's calledG  
[Chorus]
There's a Dmroom in Cevery-Gone
Where a cDmold answeCr can be foundG  
And if a Dmword can Cknock down a Gwall
Then this Fmaj7house is just a box Con the groundG  
Then this Fmaj7house is just a box Con the groundG  
Fmaj7And we ended up not goiCng anywhereG  
There's a rDmoom in Cevery-Gone
Where a Dmcold anCswer can be foundG  
And if a Dmword can Cknock down a Gwall
Then this Fmaj7house is just a box Con the groundG  
And this Dmhouse is just a bCox on the groundG

Fmaj7

[Verse]

Dm C G

Remember saying all the places we'd go

Dm C G

Once we'd found the road to take us there

Dm C G

But we spend too much time waiting by the window

Fmaj7 C G

And ended up not going anywhere

Dm C G

Never thought you'd be the kind for leaving

Dm C G

But you always thought I'd be the one to run

Dm C G

Yeah, but you can't get a stain out of the ceiling

Fmaj7 C G

When you don't know where the water's coming from

[Chorus]

Dm C G

There's a room in every-one

Dm C G

Where a cold answer can be found

Dm C G

And if a word can knock down a wall

Fmaj7 C G

Then this house is just a box on the ground

[Verse]

Dm C G

Wonder if we're speaking the same language

Dm C G

Nothing I hear makes much sense at all

Dm C G

And I can't ever shake this foreign feeling

Fmaj7 C G

And you could never tell me what it's called

[Chorus]

Dm C G

There's a room in every-one

Dm C G

Where a cold answer can be found

Dm C G

And if a word can knock down a wall

Fmaj7 C G

Then this house is just a box on the ground

Fmaj7 C G

Then this house is just a box on the ground

Fmaj7 C G

And we ended up not going anywhere

Dm C G

There's a room in every-one

Dm C G

Where a cold answer can be found

Dm C G

And if a word can knock down a wall

Fmaj7 C G

Then this house is just a box on the ground

Dm C G

And this house is just a box on the ground
