TITLE: Get Out of This House
Lyrics and Chords


Go jump in the lake, go ride up the hill
Get out of this house
It's a house of your making, it's a house of ill will
Get out of this house

/ Asus2 - Em - / G - D - / :

Go listen to Buddha, go listen to Joe
Get out of this house
If anyone asks, you tell 'em you don't know
Get out of this house

   I spent eleven long years in a hot house zone
   I spent twenty nine more trying to get home
   Well I never got home, but I did what I did
   And I got myself this house and you can't come in

   / C - Em / / / F - - - /

   Get out of this house
   Get out of this house

   / Asus2 - Em - G - D - / /

I'm the queen of my castle, I'm the king of my room
Get out, get out of this house
I got more than I need, more than I ever could use
Get out, get out of this house

   I spent seventeen years trying to save my soul
   I spent twenty three more down in the hole
   Now my soul is all right but I might get found out
   I got myself this house now and I can't get out

   Get out of this house
   Get out of this house

If I see you again it will be in my head at the end of a cloud
If you see me again it will be in your head telling you to get out

/ C - D - G - Em - / C - D - C - Bm - /

You act like a baby, you talk like a fool
Get out of this house
Go back to your mama, go back to high school
Get out of this house

Go jump in the lake, go jump out the door
Get out, get out of this house
I've had all that I can stand and I can't stand no more
Get out, get out of this house
Get out of this house
