There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
C F
Folks moved out of it a long time ago
C G
And they took all their things, and they never came back
C F
Looks like its haunted, with the windows all cracked
C G
And everyone calls it the house
F C
The house where nobody lives
F
Once it held laughter, once it held dreams
C
Did they throw it away, do they know what it means
F
Did someone's heart break,
D7 G G7
Or did someone do somebody wrong
C G
Well the paint was all cracked, it was peeled off the wood
C F
Papers were stacked on the porch where I stood
C G
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door
C F
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers
C G
Looks like no-one will ever come back to
F C
The house where nobody lives
F
Once it held laughter, once it held dreams
C
Did they throw it away, do they know what it means
F
Did someone's heart break,
D7 G G7
Or did someone do somebody wrong
C G
So if you find someone, someone to have, someone to hold
C F
Don't trade it for silver, don't trade it for gold
C G
Cos I have all of life's treasures, and they're fine and they're good
C F
They remind me that houses are just made of wood
C G
What makes a house grand oh it aint the roof or the doors

If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure

Without love it aint nothin' but a house

A house where nobody lives

Without love it aint nothin' but a house
F C
A house where nobody lives
