House Of Pain

[Intro] F  G  Am  F

    C
It's a little past supper time
G
I'm still out on the porch step
            Am                       F
Sittin' on my behind, waiting for you
    C
Wondering if everything was all right?
  G
Momma said, "Come in boy don't waste your time."
         Am                                F
I said, "I got time. Well he'll be here soon"

      G                    Am          F
I was five years old and talkin to myself

  Am                G
Where were you? Where'd ya go?
                 F
Daddy can't you tell?
C
I'm not tryin' to fake it
      F
And I ain't the one to blame
               Am
No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain
C
I didn't write these pages and
      F
My scripts been re-arranged
            Am
 No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain
            Am
No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain

  C
Wasn't I worth the time?
  G
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to mime
    Am                             F
And all the time I looked up to you
             C
I paced my room a million times
      G
And all I ever got was one big line
      Am                      F
The same old lie. How could you?

G                       Am        F
I was eighteen, still talkin' to myself

Am               G
Where were you? Where'd you go?
                F
Daddy can't ya tell?

C
I'm not tryin' to fake it
      F
And I ain't the one to blame
               Am
No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain
C
I didn't write these pages and
      F
My scripts been re-arranged
           Am
No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain
            Am
No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain

G                       Am        F
I was eighteen, still talkin' to myself

    Am                  G
Oh, Where were you? Oh, Where'd you go?
                F
Daddy can't ya tell?

C
I'm not tryin' to fake it
      F
And I ain't the one to blame
               Am
No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain
   C
So I didn't write these pages and
      F
My scripts been re-arranged
            Am
No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain
            Am
No, there's no one home
G               F
In my house of pain
