A house is not a motel

Love



 EmG
 At my house I've got no shackles
 AmC
 You can come and look if you want to
 EmG
 Through the halls you'll see the mountains
 AmC
 While the light shines dim all around you
 AmD
 And the streets are paved with gold
 Am
And if someone asks you
 D
 You can call my name
Em D Em G (x2)
 EmG
 You are just a thought that someone,
 AmC
 Somewhere, somehow, feels you should be here
 EmG
 And it's so for real to touch,
 AmC
To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
 AmD
 And the streets are paved with gold
 Am
And if someone asks you
 DEmD
 You can call my name  
 EmGEmD
 You can call my name  
 EmGEmCAmD
 I hear you calling my name....   
Instrumental break on:
 EmDEmGEmDEmGEmCAmD
                                        Em....
Em....
 DCGA
            By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
And the water's turned to blood
And if you don't think so
Go turn on your tub
And if it's mixed with mud
You see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you calling my name
Ending/fadeout on:

Verse 2:
You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
And it's so for real to touch

You can call my name

Verse 3:
By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
And the water's turned to blood, and if
You don't think so
Go turn on your tub
And it it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name
