[Verse 1]
C G C
The ads on the telly show homesteads
F G
with fairy lights glowing inside.
F C
And when I hear my doorbell ringing
G G
I look for somewhere to hide.
C G C
Well, I know that the neighbours are talking
F C
and I know what they all like to say.
F G
They say: "That one has nothing to her name",
G C
now they're trying to take it away.
[Chorus]
F C
'Cause you can't pay the rent with a candle,
G C
you can't build a house from a flame.
F C
You can't expect something from nothing
G C C
and you can't expect different from the same.
[Verse 2] (Attention line 5 on "wine"
C G C
You better keep up your repayments,
F C
it's the bit they don't want you to see.
F C
Now, I'm singing: my daughter is trouble
G G
but I know the real trouble is me.
C F C
Too much wine, too much vodka
F C
and the tears are starting to run.
F C
I won't see the face of my daughter
G C
when she finds out what I've done.
[Chorus]
F C
'Cause you can't pay the rent with a candle,
G C
you can't build a house with a flame.
F C
You can't expect something from nothing
G C
you can't expect different from the same.

C G C
On Christmas Day it was snowing
F C
and the house was as quiet as can be,
F C
the neighbours outside are still talking
G G
saying "How in the hell can this be?"
C G C
Now the daughter will stay at her uncle's
F C
and the banks all have nothing to say.
F C
But the Vultures of Christmas had got her,
G C*
she was buried on Stephen's Day.
