Halfway House

E            C#m 
Summer was a killer 
E                      C#m 
Between our  heart and minds 
E          C#m 
Everyday a drama 
         A           B  
Dragging in  quarter time 
E             C#m 
Summer it was over 
E                 C#m 
I couldn't see it thru 
E             C#m 
Trying not to lose my mind 
      A             B 
While I was leaving you 
    C#m                A 
Our friends are in the halfway house 
C#m               A 
Your still on the mend 
C#m               A 
Dont know if I've changed at all 
           B                    
But I'm in love with you again 
C#m              A 
We're all in the halfway house 
C#m             A 
So it sometimes seems 
C#m                 A 
Trying to find the truth inside 
           B                      E  C#m  E  C#m 
Instead of getting by on dreams 
E              C#m 
Summer we were blinded 
E                   C#m  
Thought it couldn't last 
E                C#m 
Crying about the future 
A                  B 
Fighting about the past 
E             C#m 
Summer was no bargin 
E           C#m 
Look at us today 
E                C#m            A               B 
Running from the memomry of the price we had to pay 
    C#m                A 
Our friends are in the halfway house 
C#m               A 
Your still on the mend 
C#m               A 
Dont know if I've changed at all 
           B                    
But I'm in love with you again 
C#m              A 
We're all in the halfway house 
C#m             A 
So it sometimes seems 
C#m                 A 
Trying to find the truth inside 
           B                       
Instead of getting by on dreams 
 
SOLO 
 
C#m              A 
We're all in the halfway house 
C#m             A 
So it sometimes seems 
C#m                 A 
Trying to find the truth inside 
           B                       
Instead of getting by on dreams 
C#m              A 
We're all in the halfway house 
C#m            A 
Guess I always knew 
C#m               A 
You could give up on yourself 
            B                        E  C#m  E   
But I could not give up on you 
C#m           A 
Living in the halfway house 
C#m           A 
Living in the halfway house 
C#m           A                 E 
Living in the halfway house
