Introduction:
Em
Home by the sea, home by the sea,
home by the sea, home by the sea
D
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
Em
Stealing through the dark of night

Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor

Checking to the left and the right

Picking up the pieces, putting them away

Something doesn't feel quite right

Help me, someone, let me out of here

Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
C Am Em
"Welcome to the home by the sea"
D
Coming out the woodwork, through the open door
Em
Pushing from above and below
D
Shadows with no substance, in the shape of men
Em
Round and down and sideways they go
D
Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
C Am
Then as one they sigh and they moan
Em C Am Em
"Help us, someone, let us out of here
C Am D Bm
Living here so long undisturbed
C Am Em
Dreaming of the time we were free
C Am Em
So many years ago
C Am D Bm
Before the time when we first heard
C Am Em
'Welcome to the home by the sea'"
G Bm D Em G Bm D
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
C G Bm D
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
D
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
Em
Things that go to make up a life
D
Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom
Em
Waiting for the morning light
D
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame
C Am
Things that go to make up a life
Em C Am Em
"Help us, someone, let us out of here
C Am D Bm
Living here so long undisturbed

So many years ago

'Welcome to the home by the sea'"

C G Bm D
As we relive our lives in what we tell you

'Cause you won't get away

For the rest of your days
D
Sit down
