[Ebm] [A] [Cm]
A [Db] chair [Gb] is still a chair
Even [Db] when there's no [Fm] one [Ab] sitting [Db] [Abm] there
But [G] [Gb] a chair [Eb] is not a [Bbm] horse
And [C] a horse [Ab] is not a home [Gb] when there's no [Ebm] one there
To hold you tight and no one there
You [Ab] can kiss
[C] goodnight
[Gb] [Db] A room [Ebm] [Bbm] is still a room
[Ebm]
Even [Gb] [Abm] when there's [Ab] nothing there but gloom
[Abm]
[F] But [B] a [Gb]
room [Ebm] [F] is not a [Eb] horse
[Bbm]
And a [Am] horse [Abm] is not a [F] [Gb] home when the two of us are [Ebm] far apart
And one of us [Ab] has a [Ebm] broken
[Db] heart
[Gb] Now and then I call your name
[Db]
And suddenly your face [F]
[G] appears
[Eb] But it's just [Bb] a [Eb] crazy [Fm] game
[Ab] [Eb] When it [Gm] ends, [Eb] it [Bbm] ends [Ebm] in
[Ab] tears
[Gb]
[Ab] So [Db] have [Gb] a heart,
[Ebm] don't let one mistake [Db] keep us apart
[Abm] [Ebm] [G] I'm [Gb] a man [Bbm] to [F] leave [Dm] alone
[Bbm] [Bb] [Am] Turn this [Abm] house into a [E]
[Gb] home
[Gb] And turn the [Ebm] key
[Gb] Oh please be [Db]
there
Still [Ab] in love [Db] with me
[Gb] Now and then I call your name
[Ab] And suddenly [B] your face [G]
appears
[Eb] But it's just a [Bb] [Ab] crazy game
[Eb] [Gm] When it [Eb] ends, [Ebm] it ends [Ab]
in [F] tears
[Ab] So [Db] [Gb]
[Ebm] don't let one mistake [Db] keep us apart
[Abm] I'm [Em] a
[Gb] man [F] to leave [D] [Gbm] alone
[Bb] Turn [Am] this [Abm] house into [G] a home
[Gb] When I climb the stair
And [Ebm] turn the key
Oh please be there
Still in [Ab] love with me
[Db] With [E] [Bb] [Ab]
[C] me
[Ab] [Db]
[Dbm] [Eb] With [Ab]
[Dbm] me
[Db] [C]
[Eb] [N]
