It Doesn't Take A House To Fall On Me
The "D" chord in the verse alternates between "D" and "D/A"

1.When the sun sweeps over the hor-izon
| | | | | | |
When the moon hangs heavy on the land When my heart hangs
| | | |G/B |A |D |
heavy on your memory my love I will sing the words you may not under-stand
| | | | | |
That it doesn't take a boat to cross the desert That it
| | | | | | |
doesn't take a stone to swim the sea And for all of the phone calls you

2.Now for all of my time in seventh heaven
And for all of your attention paid to me
And for all of the vows that we never exchanged
I just thank the Lord that I woke up to see
That it doesn't take the earth to move a mountain
That it doesn't take a lock to hold a key
And for all of the letters that I only wrote
Well it doesn't take a house to fall on me
3.When the starling strike a note at daybreak
When the blackbird sings a reverie
And in all of the dreams I imagine my love
That they whisper words you never spoke to me
That it doesn't take a cloud to build a castle
That it doesn't take a jury to agree
That unless you're confined to a hospital bed
Then it doesn't take a house to fall on me
