Chords Ok Go - The House Wins
Lyrics Ok Go - The House Wins
piano intro is a repeated A#
intro : bbmag x8
bbmag bb#5 A#6 bb#5 bbmag
fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window which won’t open
bb#5 A#6
far enough to let air in .
( A#6 ) Emaj
the house wins .
bbmag
oh the house always wins .
bbmag bb#5 A#6 bb#5 bbmag
feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window with the crack so
bb#5 A#6
small that nothing gets within .
( A#6 ) Emaj
the house wins .
bbmag
oh the house always wins .
F#maj Emaj
you don’t have to be alone to be lonely ,
A#
you might as well give in .
bbmag x4
bbmag bb#5 A#6 bb#5 A#
telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley and the window offers
bb#5 A#6
nothing in the din .
( A#6 ) Emaj
the house wins .
bbmag
oh the house always wins .
bbmag bb#5 A#6 bb#5
clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones .
bbmag bb#5 A#6
fingers rake and rasp away their skin .
( A#6 ) Emaj
the house wins .
bbmag
oh the house always wins .
F#maj Emaj
you don’t have to be alone to be lonely ,
bbmag
you might as well give in .
F#maj Emaj
yeah you don’t have to be alone to be lonely ,
bbmag
you might as well give in .

Gmaj – Emaj – Amaj – F#maj x2
Gmaj – Emaj – Amaj – Bmaj
piano on A# x2
bbmag bb#5 A#6 bb#5 A# bb#5
ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection and only one result has
A#6
trickled in . . .
( A#6 ) Emaj
the house wins .
bbmag
oh the house always wins .
bbmag bb#5 A#6 bb#5 A#
if evil were a lesser breed than justice after all these years the righteous
bb#5 A#6
would have freed the world of sin .
( A#6 ) Emaj
the house wins .
bbmag
oh the house always wins .
F#maj Emaj
you don’t have to be alone to be lonely ,
bbmag
you might as well give in .
F#maj Emaj
you don’t have to be alone to be lonely ,
bbmag
you might as well give in .
F#maj Emaj
you don’t have to be sick to be dying
bbmag
you might as well give in .
F#maj Emaj
you don’t have to have lost to be lost .
bbmag
oh give in .
F#maj Emaj
you don’t have to be alone to be lonely ,
bbmag
you might as well give in .
notes : on the verse immediately following the solo section , you may want to hold A#
as the primary chord until “the house wins” . this makes it more true to the song .
