The House We Grew Up In

	  		intro F 

F 
I said, 'Oh' 

She said, 'My head aches' 

But she's still dancing to the music that my band plays 

        C 
I said, 'Oh' 

I watch her legs shake 

And she was jumping up and down just like an earthquake 

        Dm 
I said, 'Oh' 

I watch her sweat drip 
           Bb                                  C 
I saw her clap her hands and close her eyes and bite her bottom lip 

F 
I said, 'Oh' 

I watch her dress rip 

In the car behind the club for a quick fix 

   C 
And, oh 

I watch her drink spill 

I saw her dance right back to the bar to get a refill 
      Dm 
I said, 'Oh' 

Pick up your teeth   
        Bb                        C   
And all the kids they were clappin' Mississippi 


 F 
And, oh 

We hit the mirror 
         C 
And we screamed a little louder so that everyone can hear; we said: 

 F 
Oh, let the band play 

I'm being broken up and ripped apart by X-rays 
      Dm 
I said oh oh oh 

They can't stop us 
Bb 
They can't stop us 
Bbm 
They can't stop us now 

Break: F C Dm Bb Bbm A 

F 
I said, 'Oh' 

In the back room 

On the couch, I caught a whiff of your perfume 

C 
And, oh 

See the crowd rage 

It was a sea of nicotine-beaten teenage 

Dm  
And, oh 

Full of heartbreak 
            Bb                      C 
We spent the New Year's Eve with the Champagne 

F 
And, oh 

In the bathroom 

Because my band was going on a little too soon 

C 
And, oh 

I see stars 

We spent the last four hours wastin' money in the bar 


Dm 
I said, 'Oh' 

On the stage 
            Bm                             C 
Because the kids were going crazy to that Mississippi rain; I said: 


 F 
Oh, let the band play 

I'm being broken up and ripped apart by X-rays 
      Dm 
I said oh oh oh 

They can't stop us 
Bb 
They can't stop us 
Bbm 
They can't stop us now       (x5)
