Capo II
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
FAingers blistered fA+rom the nightly scA6ratching at the wA+indow which won't Aopen far enA+ough to let air A6in.
The house wDins.
Oh the house always wAins.
FAeral cats are scrA+eaming at the clA6ouds beneath the wA+indow with the crAask so small that nA+othing gets witA6hin.
The house wDins.
Oh the house always wAins.
[Chorus]
You don't hEave to be alone to be lDonely,
You might as well give Ain.
[Verse 2]
TAelephones are A+howling at the A6cats out in the A+alley and the wAindow offers nA+othing in the dA6in.
The house wDins.
Oh the house always wAins.
ClAouds uncage the cA+ar alarms to cA6hase the cats and tA+elephones.
FAingers rake and rA+asp away their skA6in.
The house wDins.
Oh the house always wAins.
[Chorus]
You don't hEave to be alone to be lDonely,
You might as well give Ain.
Yeah, you don't hEave to be alone to be lDonely,
You might as well give Ain.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
AIce age upon cA+atastrophic A6ice age of selA+ection and Aonly one resA+ult has trickled A6in...
The house wDins.
Oh the house always wAins.
If Aevil were a lA+esser breed then jA6ustice after A+all these years the rAighteous would have frA+eed the world of A6sin
The house wDins.
Oh the house always wAins.
[Chorus]
You don't hEave to be alone to be lDonely,
You might as well give Ain.
You don't hEave to be alone to be lDonely,
You might as well give Ain.
You don't hEave to be sick to be dDying
You might as well give Ain.
You don't hEave to have lost to bDe lost.
Oh give Ain.
You don't hEave to be alone to be lDonely,
You might as well give Ain.

Capo II

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

A A+ A6 A+ A A+ A6

Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window which won't open far enough to let air in.

The house wins.

Oh the house always wins.

A A+ A6 A+ A A+ A6

Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window with the crask so small that nothing gets within.

The house wins.

Oh the house always wins.

[Chorus]

E D

You don't have to be alone to be lonely,

You might as well give in.

[Verse 2]

A A+ A6 A+ A A+ A6

Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley and the window offers nothing in the din.

The house wins.

Oh the house always wins.

A A+ A6 A+

Clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones.

A A+ A6

Fingers rake and rasp away their skin.

The house wins.

Oh the house always wins.

[Chorus]

E D

You don't have to be alone to be lonely,

You might as well give in.

E D

Yeah, you don't have to be alone to be lonely,

You might as well give in.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

A A+ A6 A+ A A+ A6

Ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection and only one result has trickled in...

The house wins.

Oh the house always wins.

A A+ A6 A+ A A+ A6

If evil were a lesser breed then justice after all these years the righteous would have freed the world of sin

The house wins.

Oh the house always wins.

[Chorus]

E D

You don't have to be alone to be lonely,

You might as well give in.

E D

You don't have to be alone to be lonely,

You might as well give in.

E D

You don't have to be sick to be dying

You might as well give in.

E D

You don't have to have lost to be lost.

Oh give in.

E D

You don't have to be alone to be lonely,

You might as well give in.
