Intro: Bbmag x8

Bbmag             Bb#5             Bb6               Bb#5             Bbmag
Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window which won't open
Bb#5                  Bb6
far enough to let air in.
(Bb6)     E
The house wins.
                    Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.
Bbmag          Bb#5             Bb6                Bb#5            Bbmag
Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window with the crack so
Bb#5                    Bb6
small that nothing gets within.
(Bb6)     E
The house wins.
                     Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.

          F#maj                  E
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
                       Bb
You might as well give in.

Bbmag x4

Bbmag          Bb#5           Bb6             Bb#5          Bb
Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley and the window offers
Bb#5           Bb6
nothing in the din.

(Bb6)     E
The house wins.
                     Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.

Bbmag             Bb#5          Bb6                Bb#5
Clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones.
Bbmag            Bb#5            Bb6
Fingers rake and rasp away their skin.

(Bb6)     E
The house wins.
                     Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.


          F#maj                  E
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
                       Bbmag
You might as well give in.

          F#maj                  E
Yeah you don't have to be alone to be lonely,
                       Bbmag
You might as well give in.

Piano on Bb x2


Bbmag          Bb#5       Bb6          Bb#5        Bb       Bb#5
Ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection and only one result has
         Bb6
trickled in...
(Bb6)     E
The house wins.
                     Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.

Bbmag          Bb#5              Bb6           Bb#5                Bb
If evil were a lesser breed than justice after all these years the righteous
Bb#5                          Bb6
would have freed the world of sin.
(Bb6)     E
The house wins.
                     Bbmag
Oh the house always wins.

          F#maj                  E
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
                       Bbmag
You might as well give in.

          F#maj                  E
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
                       Bbmag
You might as well give in.

          F#maj                 E
You don't have to be sick to be dying
                       Bbmag
You might as well give in.
          F#maj                   E
You don't have to have lost to be lost.
        Bbmag
Oh give in.
          F#maj                  E
You don't have to be alone to be lonely,
                       Bbmag
You might as well give in.

NOTES: On the verse immediately following the solo section, you may want to hold Bb 
as the primary chord until "the house wins".  This makes it more true to the song.
