D                  A
It's raining in my house tonight
G                   D
Roof's leaking everywhere
D                Am
It's overflowing buckets
    C                D
And pouring down the stairs
G                       D
Taking spins around the hallway
     Bm       A       G
Then rambling out the door
                D
Out across  the highway
    Am       G     D
And down the empty pier
D                  A
Then deep into the river
    G             D
The water it does fall
D                Am
I hear the river rising
       C               D
As I listen through my wall
G                D
And everytime it rains
    Bm    A      G
And every time I cry
G                 D
It's just another current
        Am    G       Am  C
In that river flowing by
G           D
Somebody's home
           Bm       A    G
Though you ache and feel alone
G              D      C  G
Someone you've always known
G          D
Somebody's home

D                    A
There's a fire in my house tonight
     G               D
It's climbing up the stairs
D                    Am
It's tearing thru my photographs
    C               D
And choking off the air
    G                  D
And now the walls are burning too
        Bm      A        G
And the roof is crashing in
G                   D
And finally there's only flames
      Am      G         D
Where once my house had been
D                  A
As embers fall the flame take off
   G              D
In spirals to the sky
D                  Am
Then turn into the blazing stars
     C                D
That thru the heavens fly
    G                 D
And though I mourn my own  four walls
  Bm  A       G
I try to understand
G                   D
I can see my wooden house
       Am    G     Am   C
In the ashes in my hand
G           D
Somebody's home
           Bm       A    G
Though you ache and feel alone
G              D      C  G
Someone you've always known
G          D
Somebody's home
G           D
Somebody's home
           Bm       A    G
Though you ache and feel alone
G              D      C  G
Someone you've always known
G          D
Somebody's home
G          D
Somebody's home
G          D
Somebody's home
