Key: D
Introduction: D7+ D6 Bm7 Bm7(5-) E7
A7+ D6 A7+
A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sitting there
A9 D7+ Fº F#m7 Em7
But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home
A7 D7+ Bm7
When there's no one there to hold you tight
D7+ D6 Bm7 Bm7(5-) A7+
And no one there you can kiss good night.
A7+ D6 A7+
A room is still a room, even when there's nothing there but gloom
A9 D7+ Fº F#m7 Em7
But a room is not a house, and a house is not a home
A7 D7+ Bm7
When the two of us are far apart
D7+ D6 Bm7 Bm7(5-) E7 A7+
And one of us has a broken heart
Bridge
D
Now and then I call your name
A Gº
And suddenly your face appears
B9 C#m9 B9 Bm9 Fº
But it's just a crazy game when it ends, it ends in tears
A7+ D6 A7+
Darling, have a heart don't let one mistake keep us apart
A9 D7+ Fº F#m7 Em7
I'm not meant to live alone turn this house into a home
When I climb the stair and turn the key
D7+ D6 Bm Bm7 Bm7(5-) E7 A7+
Oh, please be there, still in love with me
