CAPO I
INTRO: D
[D]This house was built by the [A7]hand of a [D]man
[D]Somewhere in the dark tonight [G]2 are beatin' [D]fast
[Bm]Lyin' still in the [D]arms of love, [A7]waves of passion pass
They [G]love each other with [D]all their [D/F#]might but [Bm]can't help but be [G]afraid
Gotta got stand in the [D]house of man to [A]tell 'em that it's [D]okay
CHORUS:
[D]This house was built by man, [G]I saw him mix the [D]mortar
[D]This house was built by man, [A7]I saw him tyin' steel
[D]This house was built by man outta [G]concrete and [D]water
[D]This house was built by the [A7]hand of a [D]man
Somewhere in the dark tonight a new heart's beatin' fast
Lyin' still in the arms of love, tiny fingers grasp
That sweet little has heard not a word about original sin
As fast as you can to the house of man so Peter can let him on in
CHORUS
SOLO
Somewhere in the dark tonight an old heart's fadin' fast
These damned things they were meant to love they weren't meant to last
But now I'm dyin' but I spent my life tryin' to do the best I can
I'd only be fine if I spent enough time sittin' in the house of man
CHORUS
[D]This house was built by the [A7]hand of a [G]man[D]
