Chords for Ronald Isley & Burt Bacharach - A House Is Not A Home

_ _ _ _ _ Of course, this next song is a dear friend of mine,
_ Luther Vandross. _
And I happened to be in the studio the night that Dionne Warwick recorded it,
the first night that she made that record.
And I sat there in the studio and I wished, said,
my record was Twist and Shout.
_ _ I was like, will I ever get a chance
to sing songs like that?
Thank God that I lasted long enough
_ to meet this young man
and we got our chance.
I love this song and it's called
A House Is Not A Home. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
Oh, [C] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ [G] a chair is [F] still a chair even _ when there's no one [C] sitting.
_ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] But [F] oh, a chair is not a house [Fm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] when there's no one there to hold [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ you [Gm] [Dm] and kiss [F] _
good [C]-bye.
_ _ Oh, a chair is not a room _ _ _ [Dm] _ [F] even when there's [C] nothing there to _ [G] bloom.
[Gm] _ And oh, [F] but a room is not [Dbm] a house [Am] and a house [C] is not a home [F] when the two of us [Am] are part
[Dm]
And one [F] of us [G] has a [C] broken heart.
[F] Now and then I call your name [C] and certainly your [A] face appears, [D] _ but it's just a crazy game.
When it ends, [Dm] it _ ends, [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] darling, [Gb] have [Db] hope.
Don't let one mistake [Ab] keep us apart.
_ [Db] Now I'll _ [Gb] _ [Eb] send it home, turn [Abm] this house into a home.
When [Bbm] I climb the stairs, turn the key, oh please be there.
[Gb] Still in love [Db] with _ [Ab] me.
[B] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] Now [F] I'll send it home, [Bbm] turn this house [Db] into a home.
[Gb] When I climb _ [Ebm]
the stairs, turn the key, oh please be [Bb] there.
_ _ _ Still [Gb] in _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ love _ _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[Ab] _ with _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] me.
[Bbm] _ _
_ Me.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ [Db] Still _ _ _ _ _ in _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ love with [N] me.
Still in love _ with me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Still in love with me. _ _ _
Still in love [Ab] with me. _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
