NAILS IN MY FEET	-	crowded house

Capo 3rd fret

            Am             
My life is a  house, 
                     Bdim     
you crawl through the    window
     E                     
Slip  across the floor 
                       Am   
and into  the reception  room
             Am             
You enter the  place 
               Bdim           
of endless per-    suasion
        E                  
Like  a  knock on the door 
                                   Am  
when there's  ten or more things to  do

Chorus
           C          F - Em      
Who is that  calling 
    G           C          F - Em     
Are  you my Com-  panion? 
 G           C                 
  Run to the  water 
    F        E                
on a  burning  beach, 
       F             E7        
and it  brings me re-  lief

                Am         
Pass through the  walls 
              Bdim            
to find my in    tentions
 E                         
  Circle 'round 
                      Am    
in a strange, hypnotic  state
            Am              
I look into  space 
                Bdim          
there is no con-    nection
         E                
A million  points of light 
                          Am    
and a conversation I can't  face

Chorus
            C         F - Em      
Cast me off  one day       
   G             C         F - Em   
to  lose my  Inhi-  bitions 
 G          C             F         E             
  Sit like a  lap dog on a  matron's  knee
        F              E      F - E 
Wear the  nails of your  feet

             Am            
I woke up the  house, 
           Bdim               
stumbled in   sideways
    E                      
The  lights went on 
                           Am  
and everybody screamed sur-  prise
          Am               
The savage  review, 
          Bdim               
it left me     gasping
      E                   
But it  warms my heart 
                         Am   
to see that you can do it  too

Chorus
          C          F - Em       
Total sur-  render, 
     G           C         F - Em     
your  touch is so  tender  
    G             C          
Your  skin is like  water 
     F       G      G7           
on a  burning  beach 
                    C      F - Em 
And it brings me re-  lief, 
       G             C       F - Em  
and it  brings me re-  lief, 
       G             C       F - Em - G  
and it  brings me re-  lief, 

 C - F - Em - G - C - F - Em - G - C - F
