(Intro.)
|(D) / (G) / |(A) / (D/F#) / | x 2

(Verse)
We (D)moved to a (G)place with a view off of (A)eight avenue after (D/F#)we said I do
And we (D) watched cars of (G)bachelorettes, 2-(A)am cigarettes, and (D/F#)traffic headed downtown
(D) And the (G)interstate was so loud, (A) there was a (D/F#)lot it had to drown out

(Chorus)
(G) We played the (D)part five nights
But (D/F#)we were never there on the (A)weekends, baby
(G) We got along (D) real nice, but (A)when I left town, did you hate me?
(G) One day, the (D)curtain started coming down
(Bm) I changed the (A)second we were moving out
(G) I guess wrong can (D)look alright
(Bm)When you're playing home in a (A)penthouse, baby

(Solo)
|(G) / (D) / |(Bm) / (A) - - -
 
(Verse)
I (D)bought the (G)house with a fence,
Enough (A)room for some kids, a (D/F#)backyard for dibs
And I (D)thought that would (G)make it all better,
And (A)maybe forever wouldn't (D/F#)feel like the walls closing in
(D)'Cause (G)how does that even make sense? (A)
Now that I (D/F#)think about it, it never did

(Chorus)
(G) We played the (D)part five nights
But (Bm)we were never there on the (A)weekends, baby
(G) We got along (D) real nice, but (Bm)when I left town, (A)did you hate me?
(G) One day, the (D)curtain started coming down
(Bm) You changed the (A)second we were moving out
(G) I guess wrong can (D)look alright
(Bm)When you're playing home in a (A)penthouse, baby (D)
'Cause (Bm)we were playing home in a (A)penthouse, baby
|(G) / (D) / |(Bm) / (A) - - -

(Break)
It (D)hurts putting (D/F#)s**t in a box and (A)now we don't talk
And it (D)stings rolling up the (D/F#)welcome mat, knowing you got half

(Chorus)
(G) I kissed someone (D)new last night
But (Bm)now I don't know where you're (A)sleeping, baby
(G) We got a-(D)long real nice, un-(Bm)til I wanted out
Now I (A)know you hate me
(G) One day, the (D)curtain started coming down
(Bm) We changed the (A)second we were moving out
(G) I guess wrong can (D)look alright
(Bm)When you're playing home in a (A)penthouse, baby (G) (D)
Oh, (Bm)we were playing home in a (A)penthouse, baby, (G) (D) mm, mm (Bm) (A) - - -

(Outro.)
I just (D) bought the (Bm)house that we saw
You (A)said it was wrong, I wanted (D)it all along - - - - -
