(Capo 3rd Fret)
The Gstripes you wore
The Clines you get
The Amholes in your Emsleeve
You Amtold me to Emleave Gmthem aGlone
Does "GHouse of Leaves"
Still Clie on your bed?
You Amtold me to Emread
But I sAmtill never Emread
GmYour Gmind
When I lCook at my city
GSomething's not right
No Cdoubt it's so pretty
But they Gturned out the Dlight
And iAmnstead of good morning
They Emtell you goodGmnightG  
GYou hung yourself
On the Cwall up above
The Ambed you made Emlove
The Amgirls you don't Emlove
GmTo Gtouch
And Gthey never guessed
The Cgirl you loved best
To Amdraw, always Emdrew
AmPictures of Emyou
GmUndGressed
When I Clook at my city
GSomething's not right
No Cdoubt it's so pretty
But they Gturned out the Dlight
And inAmstead of good morning
They Emtell you goodnight

(Capo 3rd Fret)

The stripes you wore

The lines you get

Am Em

The holes in your sleeve

Am Em Gm G

You told me to leave them alone

Does "House of Leaves"

Still lie on your bed?

Am Em

You told me to read

Am Em

But I still never read

Gm G

Your mind

When I look at my city

Something's not right

No doubt it's so pretty

G D

But they turned out the light

And instead of good morning

Em Gm G

They tell you goodnight

You hung yourself

On the wall up above

Am Em

The bed you made love

Am Em

The girls you don't love

Gm G

To touch

And they never guessed

The girl you loved best

Am Em

To draw, always drew

Am Em

Pictures of you

Gm G

Undressed

When I look at my city

Something's not right

No doubt it's so pretty

G D

But they turned out the light

And instead of good morning

They tell you goodnight
