[Verse 2] (as verse 1)
Our house, it has a crowd
There's always something happening
And it's usually quite loud
Our mum, she's so house proud
Nothing ever slows her down
And a mess is not allowed

[Verse 3] (same old same old)
Father gets up late for work
Mother has to iron his shirt
Then she sends the kids to school
Sees them off with a small kiss
She's the one they're going to miss
In lots of ways

[Verse 4] (Quick singing bit uses verse chords)
I remember way back then when everything was true and when
We would have such a very good time, such a fine time
Such a happy time
And I remember how we'd play, simply waste the day away
Then we'd say nothing would come between us two dreamers
Father wears his Sunday best
Mother's tired, she needs a rest
The kids are playing up downstairs
Sister's sighing in her sleep
Brother's got a date to keep
He can't hang around

Our house, was our castle and our keep 
C   Gm     Dm      Fm
Our house, in the middle of our street 
D   Am     Em      Gm
Our house, that was where we used to sleep 
D   Am     Em      Gm
Our house, in the middle of our street 
B   F#m    C#m     Em
Our house, in the middle of our street
