F 
 You said we should look out further 
C 
 I guess it wouldn’t hurt us 
F                                     C +Riff 
 We don’t have to be around all these coffee shops
[Strophe]
F 
 Now we’ve got that percolator 
C 
 Never made a latte greater 
F                         C +Riff 
 I’m saving 23 dollars a week
[Strophe]
F 
 We drive to a house in Preston 
C 
 We see police arrestin’ 
F                            C +Riff 
 A man with his hand in a bag
[Strophe]
F 
 How's that for first impressions 
C 
 This place seems depressing 
F                                    C +Riff 
 It’s a Californian bungalow in a cul-de-sac
[Strophe]
F 
 It's got a lovely garden 
C 
 A garage for two cars to park in 
F                                                C +Riff 
 Or a lot of room for storage if you’ve just got one
[Strophe]
F 
 And it’s going pretty cheap you say 
C 
 Well, it’s a deceased estate 
F                                        C +Riff 
 Aren't the pressed metal ceilings great?
[Strophe]
F 
 Then I see the handrail in the shower 
  C 
A collection of those canisters for coffee, tea and flour 
      F                                      C +Riff 
And a photo of a young man in a van in Vietnam
[Strophe]
F 
 And I can’t think of floorboards anymore 
C 
 Whether the front room faces south or north 
F                                    C +Riff 
 And I wonder what she bought it for

F 
 If you’ve got a 
C 
 Spare half a million 
F 
 You could knock it down 
C 
 And start rebuilding 
F 
 If you’ve got a 
C 
 Spare half a million 
F 
 You could knock it down 
C 
 And start rebuilding 
F 
 If you’ve got a 
C 
 Spare half a million 
F 
 You could knock it down

 And start rebuilding
