(intro) 4 bars of Em. I usually play it on the 7th fret.



Em                            D

Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall

D                          Em

stealing thru the dark of night

Em                        D

Climbing thru a window, stepping to the floor

D                            Em

checking to the left and the right

Em                      D

Picking up the pieces, putting them away

D                             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



Coming out the woodwork, thru the open door

pushing from above and below

shadows without substance, in the shape of men

round and down and sideways they go

adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair

then as one they sign and they moan



Help us someone, let us out of here

living here so long undisturbed

dreaming of the time we were free

so many years ago

before the time when we first heard

welcome to the Home by the Sea



Em  G        Bm   D

    Sit down Sit down

   Em            G                Bm        D

as we relive out lives in what we tell you



(Bridge: 1 bar for each chord)

Em |Em |Am |Em |Cadd9 |Em |Gadd2 |G |F |F |C |C |Am |Em |Bm |Em |



Images of sorrow, pictures of delight

things that go to make up a life

endless days of summer longer nights of gloom

waiting for the morning light

scenes of unimportance like photos in a frame

things that go to make up a life



Help us someone, let us out of here

living here so long undisturbed

dreaming of the time we were free

so many years ago

before the time when we first heard

welcome to the Home by the Sea



Sit down Sit down

as we relive out lives in what we tell you

let us relive out lives in what we tell you



Sit down sit down

Em

cos you won't get away

G

so with us you will stay

Bm                             D

for the rest of your days. So sit down

As we relive out lives in what we tell you

Let us relive out lives in what we tell you
