             Bm
My life is a house
                      Em (VII)
you crawl through the window
      F#                                     Bm
slip across the floor and into the reception room
              Bm                  Em
you enter the place of endless persuasion
       F#
like a knock on the door
                                   Bm
when there's ten or more things to do

            D        D/G*   D/F#*   A
Who is that calling?
          D        D/G   D/F#   A
you my companion
           D          G       F#
run to the water on a burning beach
       Bm        F#
and it brings me relief


Pass through the walls
to find my intentions
circle 'round in a strange, hypnotic state
I look into space
there is no connection
a million points of light
and a conversation I can't face

Cast me off one day
to lose my inhibition
sit like a lap dog on a matron's knee
wear the nails on your feet

I woke up the house
stumbled in sideways
the lights went on and everybody screamed "Surprise!"
the savage review
it left me gasping
but it warms my heart to see that you can do it too

         D   D/G   D/F#  A
Total surrender
                 D      D/G     D/F#    A
your touch is so tender
                  D          G       A
your skin is like water on a burning beach
                 D     D/G   D/F#   A
and it brings me relief

D   D/G   D/F#   A
                     A
Like a night in your mind
             A
it brings me relief

in the back door
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
in the back room
under the stars
and the scenery is my floor
