Step Inside This House Lyle Lovett
Capo 3rd fret
VERSE 1
That [C]picture hangin' on the wall
Was[F] painte[C/E]d by a frie[C]nd
He [C]gave it to me all down and [Em]out
[F]When he o[C/E]wed me [G]ten
[C]It doesn't look like much I guess
But it's a[F]ll that's [C/E]left of [C]him
And it [C]sure is nice from [Em]right over here
When the l[F]ight's a l[C/E]ittle [G]dim
CHORUS
[F]Step inside this house girl
I'll [F]sing for [C/E]you a s[C]ong
[C]I'll tell you 'bout just where [Em]I've been
[F]It shouldn't [C/E]take too [G]long
[F]I'll show you all the things that I own
[F]My treasures [C/E]you might [C]say
[C]It couldn't be more than ten dollars [Em]worth
[F]They brighten [C/E]up my [G]day
VERSE 2
This [C]book of poems was given me
By a [F]girl I [C/E]used to kno[C]w
I g[C]uess I read it front to bac[Em]k
[F]Fifty tim[C/E]es or s[G]o
[C]It's all about the good life
And stayin[F]' at ease [C/E]with the[C] world
It's fu[C]nny how I love tha[Em]t book
And I neve[F]r loved th[C/E]at gir[G]l
(CHORUS)
VERSE 3
Now y[C]ou hold this piece of glass
Up to[F] the li[C/E]ght that's [C]shinin' through the door
It'[C]s a prism glass I found it [Em]on the road
[F]Can't you[C/E] see th[G]at tiny rainbow
[C]It's not really a prism I guess
Its just k[F]ind of bro[C/E]ke a fun[C]ny way
I was o[C]n my way through H[Em]ouston
And I was [F]headed for[C/E] L.A.[G]
(CHORUS)
VERSE 4
This [C]guitar was given me
By ol[F]d man T[C/E]homas Gray[C]
It'[C]s not too much to look at[Em]
[F]But I pla[C/E]y it ev[G]ery day
[C]It's been across this country
Four or fi[F]ve times I[C/E] guess[C]
Between[C] me and old man To[Em]m
It never g[F]ot much re[C/E]st[G]
(CHORUS)
VERSE 5
Well [C]that's just about all I own
All I[F] care t[C/E]o I guess[C]
Exc[C]ept this pair of boots mayb[Em]e
[F]And that [C/E]funny y[G]ellow vest
[C]And that leather jacket and that leather bag
And that h[F]at hangin'[C/E] on the [C]wall
Just so[C] it's not too much[Em] to carry babe
Could I se[F]e you agai[C/E]n next[G] Fall
