| Em |
| Em | D | |
| Creeping up the blind side, sh | inning up the wall |
| D | Em | |
| stealing thru the dark of n | ight |
| Em | D | |
| Climbing thru a window, st | epping to the floor |
| D | Em | |
| checking to the left and the | right |
| Em | D | |
| Picking up the pieces, p | utting them away |
| D | C | Am | |
| something doesn't feel quite r | ight |
| chorus |
| Em | C | Am | Em | |
| Help me someone, let | me | out of | here |
| C | Am | D | Bm | |
| then o | ut of the | dark was s | uddenly h | eard |
| C | Am | Em | |
| welcome to the | Home by the | Sea |
| Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door |
| pushing from above and below |
| shadows without substance, in the shape of men |
| round and down and sideways they go |
| adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair |
| then as one they sign and they moan |
| chorus |
| Help us someone, let us out of here |
| living here so long undisturbed |
| dreaming of the time we were free |
| so many years ago |
| before the time when we first heard |
| welcome to the Home by the Sea |
| Em | G | Bm | D | |
| Sit down | Sit d | own |
| Em | G | Bm | D | |
| as | we relive out | lives in what we | tell you |
| bridge |
| Em | Am | Em | Cadd9 | Em | Gadd2 | G | F | C | Am | Em | Bm | Em |
| Images of sorrow, pictures of delight |
| things that go to make up a life |
| endless days of summer longer nights of gloom |
| waiting for the morning light |
| scenes of unimportance like photos in a frame |
| things that go to make up a life |
| repeat long chorus |
| Sit down Sit down |
| as we relive out lives in what we tell you |
| let us relive out lives in what we tell you |
| Sit down sit down |
| Em | |
| cos you won't get away |
| G | |
| so with us you will stay |
| Bm | D | |
| for the rest of your days. So s | it down |
| As we relive out lives in what we tell you |
| Let us relive out lives in what we tell you |
