TITLE: Our House
Lyrics and Chords
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around
/ C - Gm - / Dm - / Fm - / :
{Refrain}
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
/ D Am Em G / /
Our house it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum, she's so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed
{Refrain}
/ D Am Em G / /
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, in the middle of our
Something tells you that you've got to move away from it
/ B F#m C#m E / /
Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways
{Refrain}
I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time
Such a fine time, such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play, simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come
Between us two dreamers
/ C - / Gm - / Dm - Fm - / :
{Repeat first verse}
Our house, in the middle of our street (3X)
Our house, in the middle of our
/ D Am Em G / / B F#m C#m E / /
Our house, was our castle and our keep
Our house, in the middle of our street
Our house, that was where we used to sleep
Our house, in the middle of our street (3X)
/ C Gm Dm F / / D Am Em G / / B F#m C#m E / /
