If My Heart Was A House

Owl City

Text File

I've seen the tabs on here for this song and I just can't seem to sing along 
whilst playing the chords. So this is my version and I think it sounds quite good.

Standard tuning. Use capo on your choice of fret depending on the pitch of your 
voice. I prefer to use it on the 3rd fret. 

This is my first ever tab btw so keep critisism to the minimum , thanks.


Verse 1:

           G        D      Em       C
You're the sky that I fell through.
        G          D
And I remember the view,
   Em        C
Whenever I'm holding you
G         D           Em      C
  The sun hung from a string.
        G           D           Em         C
Looking down on the world as it warms over everything.
G            D       Em      C
  Chills run down my spine,
       G         D
As our fingers entwine
         Em         C
And your sighs harmonize with mine.
G           D        Em      C
  Un  -  mistake  - ably,
      G               D          Em            C
I can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with me.




Pre-chorus:

G        D         Em          C
  We got older and I should've known (Do you feel alive?)
G               D           Em      A
  That I'd feel colder when I walk alone (Oh, but you'll survive)
G      D           Em          C
  So I may as well ditch my dismay.
      G       D   
Bombs awa-A-A-ay,
      G       D   
bombs awa-A-A-ay




Chorus:

G        D          Em            C
  Circle me and the needle moves gracefully.
G          D
  Back and forth,     
 Em          C                G
If my heart was a compass you'd be North.
        D              Em           C
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall.
    G        D
Wherever you go,
      Em          C              G    D   Em   C
If my heart was a house you'd be home.




Verse 2:
            G             D           Em         C 
It makes me smile because you said it best.
        G            D              Em          C
I would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west.
G        D       Em      C
  Flower balm perfume, 
       G                  D
All my clothes smell like you
           Em                C
Cause your favorite shade is navy blue.




Pre-Chorus:

G         D          Em        C
  I walk slowly when I'm on my own.(Do you feel alive?)
G           D         Em     A
  Yeah, but frankly I still alone. (Oh, but you'll survive)
G      C           Em          C 
  So I may as well ditch my dismay.
       G      D
Bombs awa-a-a-ay,
       G      D
Bombs awa-a-a-ay.




Chorus:

G        D          Em            C
  Circle me and the needle moves gracefully.
G          D
  Back and forth,  
    Em          C                G
If my heart was a compass you'd be North.
        D              Em           C
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall.
    G        D
Wherever you go,
      Em          C              G    D   Em   C
If my heart was a house you'd be home.
