Tom : C
Em
Home by the sea, home by the sea,
home by the sea, home by the sea
D
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
Em
Stealing through the dark of night
D
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor
Em
Checking to the left and the right
D
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
C Am
Something doesn't feel quite right
Em C Am Em
Help me, someone, let me out of here
C Am D Bm
Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
C Am Em
"Welcome to the home by the sea"
D
Coming out the woodwork, through the open door
Em
Pushing from above and below
D
Shadows with no substance, in the shape of men
Em
Round and down and sideways they go
D
Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
C Am
Then as one they sigh and they moan
[Refrão]
Em C Am Em
"Help us, someone, let us out of here
C Am D Bm
Living here so long undisturbed
C Am Em
Dreaming of the time we were free
C Am Em
So many years ago
C Am D Bm
Before the time when we first heard
C Am Em
'Welcome to the home by the sea'"

Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
C G Bm D
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Em Am Em Cadd9 Em G F C Am Em Bm Em D
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
Em
Things that go to make up a life
D
Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom
Em
Waiting for the morning light
D
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame
C Am
Things that go to make up a life
[Refrão] (repetir)

For the rest of your days

As we relive our lives in what we tell you
