*CAPO 1st FRET*
(Original Key: Bbm)
Chorus 1:
[Am] I see a house,
(Seven...
[F] A house of stone,
Rooms),
A lonely house,
(Filled...
'Cos now you've [Em7]gone.
...with gloom).
Seven [Gm]rooms,
(Just seven rooms,
That's all it is,
Seven rooms of [Ebmaj7]gloom.
...Of gloom).
I live with [Abmaj7]emptiness,[C#]
(Filled with emptiness),
Without your [F]tenderness.
Verse 1:
You took the [Dm]dream I had for us,
Turned my [Gm]dreams into [Dm]dust.
I watch the [Dm]phone; never rings,
I watch the [Gm]door that never [Dm]rings.
Bring you [Dm]back into my life,
Turn this [Gm]darkness into [Dm]light.
I'm all a-[Dm]lone in this house,
Turn this [Gm]house into a [Dm]home.
Bridge 1:
[Bb6] I need your [Bb]touch to [F]comfort me,[A7]
[Bb6] The tender, tender [Bb]arms,
That [F]once held me.[A7]
Chorus 2:
Without your [Am]love,
(Seven...
Your love in-[F]side,
...Rooms),
This house is just a place,
(Filled...
To run and [Em7]hide.
...With gloom).
Seven [Gm]rooms,
(Just seven rooms,
That's all it is,
Seven rooms of [Ebmaj7]gloom.
...Of gloom).
Rooms of [Abmaj7]emptiness,[C#]
(Rooms of emptiness),
Without your [F]tenderness.
Verse 2:
Don't make me [Dm]live from day to day,
Watching the [Gm]clock that ticks a-[Dm]way.
Another [Dm]day, another way,
Another [Gm]reason for me to [Dm]stay.
I need you [Dm]here, here with me,
I need you [Gm]darling desperate-[Dm]ly.
I'm [Dm]all alone, all alone,
In this [Gm]house that's not a [Dm]home.
Bridge 2:
[Bb6] I miss your [Bb]love, I [F]once had known.[A7]
[Bb6] I miss your [Bb]kiss,
That was my [F]very, very own.[A7]
Chorus 3:
[Am] Empty silence,
(Seven...
Sur-[F]rounding me,
...Rooms),
Lonely walls,
(Filled...
They stare at [Em7]me.
...With gloom).
I live with [Abmaj7]emptiness,[C#]
(Filled with emptiness),
Without your [F]tenderness.
Verse 3:
All the [Dm]windows are painted black,
And wait right [Gm]here, until you come [Dm]back.
I'll keep [Dm]waiting, waiting,
Until your [Gm]face, again I [Dm]see.
Outro:
Dm, Gm Dm
