[Intro]
[V1]
G C G
I’m a fixer upper, need a lot of repairs
D
Kinda run down and outdated, stuff strewn everywhere
G C G
If you looked in my windows, you’d probably wanna leave
C G D
You’d think, “Who would wanna live in me?”
[Chorus]
G C
Well I ain’t no fancy castle
G D
I got too much junk inside
Em C G C
But if you buy ugly houses, Lord
G D G
I’m taking down my for sale sign
[V2]
G C G
I fight with the devil and the promises he makes
G D
And I tend to keep on doing things I really need to change
G C G
If you still see potential I’m handing you the keys
C G D
Lord, come and live in me
[Chorus]
G C
Well I ain’t no fancy castle
G D
I got too much junk inside
Em C G C
But if you buy ugly houses, Lord
G D G
I’m taking down my for sale sign
Em C G C
But if you buy ugly houses, Lord
G D G
I’m taking down my for sale sign
Em C G C
But if you buy ugly houses, Lord
G D G
I’m taking down my for sale sign
