RADIOHEAD Life In A Glass House - Amnesiac

transcription by Jim Maltese (maltesefalcon42@hotmail.com)

The chords in this song are played on piano (I think) but they translate easily
to guitar.


Intro     Am/Ab     Am7


Verse 1
Am/Ab     Am7                   Amb         Am7
Once again, I'm in trouble with my old friend,
                    Cm
she is papering the window panes,
                    Gm     Gm6                  ?
she is putting on a smile, living in a glass house


Verse 2     (same chords as verse 1)

Once again packed like frozen food and battery hens,
Think of all the starving millions,
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones,
Your royal highnesses


Chorus
Am          E                  F              Am       Asus2 
    Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat,
Am          E                  F                 Am    Asus2
    Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat,
Am          E                  F              Am (hold)  
    Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat,
        Am                  Am/Ab (leads into intro/verse figure)
    But someone's listening in,


Verse 3   (same chords as verse 1)

Once again we are hungry for a lynching,
That's a strange mistake to make,
You should turn the other cheek,
Living in a glass house


Chorus
Am          E                  F              Am       Asus2 
    Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat,
Am          E                  F                 Am    Asus2
    Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat,
Am          E                  F              C  
    Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat,
          C     C/B      Am     E    F
    Only, only, only...
C         C     C/B      Am     E    F
    Only, only, only...
C         C     C/B      Am     E    F
    Only, only, only...
C         C     C/B      Am     E    F
    Only, only, only...
Am
    There's someone listening in.
