 They're holding a committee of treason and lies
C                    G    D               G
 Double speak and sedition then somebody dies
C                             G    C                    G
 From the hills the smell of lilacs then the repeat of guns
            C                               G                D                           G
 When she closes the window and draws the blinds her first touch sucks the air from my lungs


C         G    C                  G
 Hey Blue Eyes, what you doing tonight
C         G    D        G

 She says, "In this house we've abandoned history, in this house there are no laws
C                         G      D              G
 Just the false taste of paradise and then the fall
C                               G      C                          G
 In this house the guilty go unpunished and blood and silence prevail
C                      G       D                     G
 Here the dead remain nameless, the nameless remain jailed"

 In this house there's just the dust of bones, the basement's filled with liars
C                             G      D                  G
 In this house our sons and daughters are spilled like wine
C                         G     C                        G
 So come close my pretty darling and let me feel your disease
C                       G                D                  G
 Tonight I'll have you naked and crawling at the end of my leash


C         G    C                  G

 She says, "In this house it's so easy to set a world on fire
C                      G                       D                       G
 All you need is the need and the money and a soul full of reckless desire
C                          G    C                          G
 Upstairs the landlord is dining here with his criminal friends
        C                                       G                       D              G
