| Intro |
| D | |
| The walls that surround us |
| are slowly crumblin' down |
| But the heart of this foundation |
| A7 | |
| is | still on solid ground |
| Just need some renovation |
| and a lot of TLC |
| And a long night of lovin' |
| D | |
| is all that we both | need |
| Chorus: |
| So, roll the shades down |
| lock the doors up tight |
| turn on the code-a-phone |
| If the door bell rings |
| we'll just stay in bed |
| A7 | |
| and | pretend nobody's home |
| Let the neighbors think we moved away |
| or forgot to pay the rent |
| There ain't nothing wrong with this old house |
| D | |
| it just needs a little home | improvement. |

| Instrumental Break |
| D | |
| Every day we go our separate ways |
| to make our dreams come true |
| But it ain't worth the sacrifice |
| A7 | |
| if we're | giving up me and you |
| We gotta hold on tighter than tight |
| to the ties that make us strong |
| And get back to the roots |
| D | |
| that made this house a | home |
| Repeat Chorus 2X |
