Intro 

  
Verse: 
G 
Now 
I'm wakin' at the crack of dawn 
                        D 
to send a little money home from here 
       G 
to the moon is risin' like a discotheque 
                              D 
and now my bags are down and packed for traveling 

G 
Lookin' at happiness 
keepin' my flavor fresh 
nobody knows I guess 
              D 
How far I'll go, I know 
       G 
so I'm leavin' at Six O' Clock 
meet in a parkin' lot 
Harriet Hendershot 
            D 
Sunglasses on, she waits by this 

Chorus: 
  A        Gm            D 
Glass and concrete and stone 
       A      Gm           D 
It is just a house, not a home 

  
Verse: 
G 
Skin 

that covers me from head to toe 
                      D 
except a couple tiny holes and openings 
G 
where, the city's blowin' in and out 
                       D 
this is what it's all about, delightfully 

G 
Everything's possible 
when you're an animal 
not inconceivable 
                 D 
How things can change, I know 
       G 
So I'm puttin' on aftershave 
nothin' is out of place 
gonna be on my way 
          D 
Try to pretend, it's not only 

Chorus: 
  A        Gm            D 
Glass and concrete and stone 
That it's just a house, not a home 

Solo 

Chorus: 
And it's glass and concrete and stone 
It is just a house, not a home 

Chorus: 
And my head is fifty feet high 
Let my body and soul be my guide
