This House Is Empty Now Elvis Costello
[Cm7]These rooms play [Eb/F]tricks upon you
[Dsus4]Remember[D/C] when they were always filled with [Gm9/Bb]laughter?
[Cm7]But now they're [Eb/F]quite deserted
[Dsus4]They seem to[D/C] just echo voices raised in [Gm9/Bb]anger
Maybe you will s[Ebmaj7]ee my face
Reflected [Cm9]there [Fsus]on the [F]pane
[F]In the [E]window [Ebmaj7]of our poor
Forlorn and broken [Cm9]home
[Eb/F]Still this [F]house is [Bbmaj7/D]empty now
There's nothing I can [Eb/F]do
To [F]make you [Bbmaj7/D]want to [D7]stay
[(B9)]So tell me how
Am I supposed to live wi[Gm9/Bb]thout you?
These walls were lined with pictures
Remember the glass we charged in celebration?
But now I fill my life up
With all that I can to deaden this sensation
Do you recognize the face
Fixed in that fine silver frame
Were you really so unhappy then?
You never said
So this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
[Cm9]Oh, if I could just be[Eb/F]come for[Bbmaj7/D]getful
When [D7]night seems [Gm7]endless
Does the extinguished [Gm7/F]candle [Em7b5]care
[G/A]About the darkness?
It's funny how my mem'ry
Will bring you so close then make you disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Who they will favour, who they will lose
Hang the garland high or close the door
And throw away the key
This house is empty now
There's no one living here
You have to care about
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
This house is empty now
There's no one living here
You have to care about
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
