C
let's get an apartment
C
with orange shag carpet
Am
and tear it up from the floor
G
and we'll laugh about the losers
F                               C
who dared to live there before
C
or let's get a place
C
with a rotted ceiling
Am
so it's only a matter of time
G
before the ceiling caves in
F                                          C
and we've got better views of the sky

[Pre-chorus]
Am              G              C
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Am              G              C              F
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

[Verse 2]
C
let's plant the garden
C
when the ground is real hard
Am
and we'll watch the impossible grow
G
and the fruit will be sweeter
F                               C
because we believed it be so
C
and let's draw plans for
C
our own kind of mansion
Am
with tunnels and secret rooms
G
and abandon our schemes
F                               C
for a loft that is built for two

[Chorus]
        Am              G              C
oh my walls might creek and cry
        Am              G              C      F
oh my floors might shift and mourn
                Am              G
but if you're looking for a place
C       F      Am
to spend the night
        F
come on in
        G               C
and make yourself at home

[Verse 3]
C
and if you want a fix'er upper
C
You’re gonna have to love her
Am
or the whole thing will just fall apart
G
and i know it's cliché
F                                               C
but it works quite the same with the heart
C
and if you want happy endings
C
you've got to stop singing
Am
before the song is quite done
G
so i leave out the bit where
F                               C
you leave and i learn to move on

[Chorus]
        Am              G              C
oh my walls might creek and cry
        Am              G              C      F
oh my floors might shift and mourn
                Am              G
but if you're looking for a place
C       F      Am
to spend the night
        F
come on in
        G               Am     G      C
and make yourself at home
F
come on in
        G                       C
and make yourself at home
