Intro---E----D----A----E----D

Verse 1

A

The house caught on fire in the winter

D

the bosses lay slain

D

and each of the workers decided

A

to ten-fold their pay

and they saw in the mirror

D

the sun had been shot down in flames

A

and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

Refrain:-

A E

but it doesnt really matter

D A

when the judgements are said

E

'cos we all take our chances

D A

to find our romances in some others bed

E

and you might burn your fingers

D A

hook your best friends rings for those

E

who'd have you standing naked

D A

then publicly auction the use of a hose

Verse 2

A

all the children where laughing

D

their faces in half at the pain

of the girl who loved talking to walls

A

and jumping at trains

and the words that ring true

D

in the playground of fools will remain

A

and nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

Refrain 2:-

A E

but it doesnt really matter

D A

when the rights have been read

E

'cos we all take our chances to glance

D A

at the wife in the opposite bed

E D A

and I bet Nero and Pilate could easily explain

E D

how policemen and pirates get stoned in glass houses

A

just finding their way.
