Intro
Verse:
G
Now
I'm wakin' at the crack of dawn
D
to send a little money home from here
G
to the moon is risin' like a discotheque
D
and now my bags are down and packed for traveling
G
Lookin' at happiness
keepin' my flavor fresh
nobody knows I guess
D
How far I'll go, I know
G
so I'm leavin' at Six O' Clock
meet in a parkin' lot
Harriet Hendershot
D
Sunglasses on, she waits by this
Chorus:
A Gm D
Glass and concrete and stone
A Gm D
It is just a house, not a home
Verse:
G
Skin
that covers me from head to toe
D
except a couple tiny holes and openings
G
where, the city's blowin' in and out
D
this is what it's all about, delightfully
G
Everything's possible
when you're an animal
not inconceivable
D
How things can change, I know
G
So I'm puttin' on aftershave
nothin' is out of place
gonna be on my way
D
Try to pretend, it's not only
Chorus:
A Gm D
Glass and concrete and stone
That it's just a house, not a home
Solo
Chorus:
And it’s glass and concrete and stone
It is just a house, not a home
Chorus:
And my head is fifty feet high
Let my body and soul be my guide
Outro
