CAPO I INTRO,/b>: D D A7 D This house was built by the hand of a man D G D Somewhere in the dark tonight 2 are beatin' fast Bm D A7 Lyin' still in the arms of love, waves of passion pass G D D/F# Bm G They love each other with all their might but can't help but be afraid D A D Gotta got stand in the house of man to tell 'em that it's okay Chorus: D G D This house was built by man, I saw him mix the mortar D A7 This house was built by man, I saw him tyin' steel D G D This house was built by man outta concrete and water D A7 D This house was built by the hand of a man Somewhere in the dark tonight a new heart's beatin' fast Lyin' still in the arms of love, tiny fingers grasp That sweet little has heard not a word about original sin As fast as you can to the house of man so Peter can let him on in Chorus SOLO Somewhere in the dark tonight an old heart's fadin' fast These damned things they were meant to love they weren't meant to last But now I'm dyin' but I spent my life tryin' to do the best I can I'd only be fine if I spent enough time sittin' in the house of man Chorus D A7 G D This house was built by the hand of a man
