Lyle Lovett - Step Inside This House guitar chord

Lyle Lovett

STEP INSIDE THIS HOUSE

Capo 3rd fret

VERSE 1

C

That picture hangin' on the wall

F C/E C (see riff below)

Was painted by a friend

C Em

He gave it to me all down and out

F C/E G

When he owed me ten

C

It doesn't look like much I guess

F C/E C

But it's all that's left of him

C Em

And it sure is nice from right over here

F C/E G

When the light's a little dim

CHORUS

F

Step inside this house girl

F C/E C

I'll sing for you a song

C Em

I'll tell you 'bout just where I've been

F C/E G

It shouldn't take too long

F

I'll show you all the things that I own

F C/E C

My treasures you might say

C Em

It couldn't be more than ten dollars worth

F C/E G

They brighten up my day

VERSE 2

This book of poems was given me

By a girl I used to know

I guess I read it front to back

Fifty times or so

It's all about the good life

And stayin' at ease with the world

It's funny how I love that book

And I never loved that girl

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3

Now you hold this piece of glass

Up to the light that's shinin' through the door

It's a prism glass I found it on the road

Can't you see that tiny rainbow

It's not really a prism I guess

Its just kind of broke a funny way

I was on my way through Houston

And I was headed for L.A.

(CHORUS)

VERSE 4

This guitar was given me

By old man Thomas Gray

It's not too much to look at

But I play it every day

It's been across this country

Four or five times I guess

Between me and old man Tom

It never got much rest

(CHORUS)

VERSE 5

Well that's just about all I own

All I care to I guess

Except this pair of boots maybe

And that funny yellow vest

And that leather jacket and that leather bag

And that hat hangin' on the wall

Just so it's not too much to carry babe

Could I see you again next Fall

(CHORUS)
