[Verse 1]
F C
She played the guitar in the darkest of nights
F Am
A few calls and we just knew what we got
Em
She said, come along boys, yeah
F C
We've got this whole lot of night
[Verse 2]
F C
She picked out a few that we knew
F Am
And she just said, we've got the whole night time and
Em F C
Standing around this fireplace we could sing our souls all free
[Chorus 1] x2
And we've been singing
F C
La lala la
F Am
Lala lala la
Em F C
lala lalala lalala
[Verse 3]
F C
She played the guitar in the darkest of days
F Am
And she took away our furious pains
Em
She said, I love you boys
F C
I love you even though you're stray
[Verse 4]
F C
She said I guide the darkest of nights
F Am
And I'll take away your furious pride
Em
She said I'll love you boys
F C
I'll love you just the way you are
[Chorus 2] x2
We're singing
F C
La lala la
F Am
Lala lala la
Em F C
lala lalala lalala
[Verse 5]
F C
She said, the walls don't make this house a home
F Am
You keep on running but you end up all alone
Em F C
I know, we spend our days on sundays and we were reading in a book
[Verse 6]
F C
You spend your time with your brothers
F Am
And you just practice with the son
Em F C
You said my kid is old, and I'm too but I got something that goes on
[Verse 7]
F C
She played the guitar in the darkest of days
F Am
And she took away our furious pains
Em
She said, I love you boys
F C
I love you even though you're stray
[Verse 8]
F C
She said, I guide the darkest of nights
F Am
And I'll take away your various lives
Em
She said, I'll love you boys
F C
I'll love you just the way you are
[Outro] x 7
We're singing
F C
You make this house a home
F Am
You make this house a home, home, home
Em F
You make this house a home
C
Oh yeah, you do
