Seven Rooms of Gloom Four Tops
"7 Rooms Of Gloom"
(Holland - Dozier - Holland)
Intro/Chorus 1:
[Bbm] I see a house, [Gb] a house of stone
(Seven rooms)
A lonely house 'cause now you've g[Fm7]one
(Filled with gloom)
Seven r[Abm]ooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of [Emaj7]gloom
(Just seven rooms of gloom)
I live with[Amaj7] emptiness[D]
(Filled with emptiness)
Without your t[Gb]enderness
Verse 1:
You took the d[Ebm]ream I had fo[Ebm/Gb]r us
Turned my d[Abm]reams into[Ebm/Bb] dust
I watch the p[Ebm]hone never[Ebm/Gb] rings
I watch the [Abm]door that never [Ebm/Bb]rings
Bring you [Ebm]back into my[Ebm/Gb] life
Turn this [Abm]darkness into[Ebm/Gb] light
I'm all a[Ebm]lone in this[Ebm/Gb] house
Turn this h[Ab]ouse into a[Ebm/Bb] home
[Cb6]I need your t[Cb]ouch to [Gb]comfort me[Bb7/D]
[Cb6]The tender, tender a[Cb]rms that o[Gb]nce held me[Bb7/D]
Chorus 2:
Without your love, your love inside
This house is just a place to run and hide
Seven rooms, that's all it is - seven rooms of gloom
Rooms of emptiness
Without your tenderness
Verse 2:
Don't make me live from day to day
Watching the clock that ticks away
Another day, another way
Another reason for me to stay
I need you here, here with me
I need your loving desperately
I'm all alone, all alone
In this house that's not a home
I miss your love I once had known
I miss your kiss that was my very, very own
Chorus 3:
Empty silence surrounding me
Lonely walls they stare at me
Seven rooms, that's all it is - rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness
Without your tenderness
Verse 3:
All the windows are painted black
And wait right here until you come back
I'll keep waiting, waiting
Until your face again I see
(continue w/unintelligible backing vocals to fade)
