Intro: Em Em A Verse 1: Em If you have an opinion Em Maybe you should shove it A Or maybe you could scream it Pre-chorus: C Might be best to keep it to yourself (To yourself) Em To yourself (To yourself) Chorus: Em This is why I don't leave the house Em You say the coast is clear Em But you won't catch me out C Oh, why? Am This is why Verse 2: Em Better have conviction Em 'Cause we were crimes of passion A Survival of the fittest A You're either with us or Pre-chorus: C You can keep it to yourself (To yourself) Am To yourself (To yourself) C To yourself, yourself, yourself Em To yourself (To yourself) Chorus: Em This is why I don't leave the house Em You say the coast is clear Em But you won't catch me out C Oh, why? Am This is why Em This is why I don't leave the house Em You say the coast is clear Em But you won't catch me out C Oh, why? Am Em This is why Bridge: Am Em One step beyond your door C It might as well have been a free fall Am Em One step beyond your door C Fallin' down an endless hall Am Em One step beyond your door C Might as well have been a free fall Am Em One step beyond your door C And I'm fallin' like a cannonball Chorus: Em This is why I don't leave the house Em You say the coast is clear Em But you won't catch me out C Oh, why? Am This is why Em This is why I don't leave the house Em You say the coast is clear Em But, oh no, won't catch me out C Oh, why?
