Verse  
 
G#                                         A#m 
These four walls have got a story to tell 
Fm                 D#9   
(Oh-oh, oh-oh...!) 
G#                                                       A#m 
The door is off the hinges, there's no wishing them well 
Fm                 D#9   
(Oh-oh, oh-oh...!) 
 
            C#                     G#                   A#m 
Outside the sky is coal black, the streets are on fire 
                      G#                              C# 
The picture windows cracked, and there's no where to run 
              C# 
I know, I know, this house is not for sale 
 
  Fm      G#           C#9          G# 
I set each stone and I hammered each nail

This house is not for sale 
     Fm      G#                   C#9       G# 
When every memory is lived and my dreams all fail

This house is not for sale

Coming home,  
 
Verse   
 
G#                                                  A#m 
Swirl my spike into the ground and I stake my claim 
Fm                 D#9  
(Oh-oh, oh-oh...!) 
G#                                                  A#m 
Standing on the dirt where they'll dig my grave 
Fm                 D#9  
(Oh-oh, oh-oh...!)  
 
      C#                      G#                A#m 
Now I built these walls, it's in my veins 
                        G#                       C# 
No time for lookin' back, the world is out the door 
                     C# 
This heart, this soul, this house is not for sale 
 
  Fm      G#           C#9          G#

Bridge 
 
A#m               Fm  
        This house was built on trust 
C#                       D# 
        That's what it is, it always was 
A#m                            Fm  
        No wrecking ball could knock it down 
C#                D# 
        This house was built on higher ground
