A mansion on a hill is a lovely sight to see
C G Am D7
but like any other house it's only temporary
G C G
Home is anywhere you choose to put your heart
C G Am D7
if there's no love inside it'll soon fall apart.
C G D7 G
Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
C G Am D7
buildings will crumble, bridges will rust,
C G C
mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
Am D7 G
And so it goes with everything but love,
Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
so it go--es, everything but love, so it go--es.
G C G
You can drive around in a long limousine
C G Am D7
if you don't know where you're going, you don't mean a thing
G C G
He would walk a mile just to hold an empty hand
C G Am D7
he knows what it means to be a wealthy man.
C G D7 G
Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
C G Am D7
colusses will crumble, bridges will rust,
C G C
mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
Am D7 G
And so it goes with everything but love,
Em Am D7 G Em Am D7
so it go--es, everything but love, so it go--es.
C D7 G C D7 G
Wordly treasures will all pass away
C D7 Em Am D7
there's just one thing's put here to stay
C G D7 G
Ashes to ashes, dust into dust
C G Am D7
kingdoms will crumble, bridges will rust,
C G C
mountains will disappear, rivers will dry on
Am D7 G
And so it goes with everything but love,
Em Am D7 G
so it go--es, everything but love,
Em Am D7 G
so it go--es, everything but love,
Em Am D7 G
so it go--es, everything but love.
