House of Blues

[Verse 1]
I'm standing on the front porch
With a gas can in my left hand
And a cigarette in my right
Honey, if you wanna help me
To burn it all down
Give me a light

[Chorus]
Not gonna live in a house of blues
Live in a house of blues
We love each other way too much to stay here
Not gonna live in a house of blues
Live in a house of blues
You know I love you way too much to die here
With you, dear

[Verse 2]
Mostly all I wanted
Was to get inside your heart
I never did learn how
If I could, you know I would
Turn it all around
But it's too late, baby, now

[Chorus]
Not gonna live in a house of blues
Live in a house of blues
We love each other way too much to stay here
Not gonna live in a house of blues
Live in a house of blues
You know I love you way too much to die here

[Bridge 1]
I know you have forgiven me
You know I have forgiven you

[Bridge 2]
Bittersweet reverberations
That melancholy ghost is here
Haunting every empty room
Meet me in the hallway
I'll trade you
Tear for tear

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna live in a house of blues
Live in a house of blues
We love each other way too much to stay here
Not gonna live in a house of blues
Live in a house of blues
You know I love you way too much to die in a house of blues

[Outro]
(Live in a house of blues)
(I know)
(Live in a house of blues)
(You have forgiven me)
(Live in a house of blues)
(You know)
You know I love you way too much to die here
(I have forgiven you)
With you, dear
