[Bb]
[Ab]
[Eb]
[Bb] That's [Eb] the house on my block [Bb] that's abandoned and cold.
[Eb] The folks moved out of there [Ab] a long time ago.
[Eb] And they took all their things [Bb] and they never came [Eb] back.
It looks like it's haunted with [Ab] the windows all cracked.
[Eb] Everyone calls it [Bb] the house, the house where [Ab] nobody lives.
[Eb]
[Ab] Once it held laughter, once it held dreams, did [Eb] they throw it away?
Did they know what it means?
[Ab]
Someone's heart [F] breaks.
Did someone do [Bb] somebody wrong?
[Eb] Well, the paint is all cracked.
[Bb] It was peeled off of the wood.
[Eb] The papers were [Ab] stacked on the porch where I stood.
And [Eb] the weeds had grown up just [Bb] as high as the door.
[Eb] There were birds in the [Ab] chimney and an old chest of drawers.
[Eb] Looks like no one will ever [Bb]
come back to the house where [Ab] nobody lives.
[Eb]
Oh, [Ab] well, once it held laughter, once it held dreams, did [Eb] they throw it away?
Did they know what it means?
[Ab]
Someone's heart [F] breaks.
Or did someone do [Bb] somebody wrong?
So if [Eb] you find someone, [Bb]
someone to have, someone to hold, [Eb] don't trade it for silver.
[Ab] Oh, don't trade it for gold.
Because I [Eb] have all of life's treasures, [Bb] and they're fine and they're good.
[Eb] They're a man-made.
The houses [Ab] are just made of wood.
[Eb] What makes a house grand?
Oh, [Bb] it ain't no roof or the doors.
[Eb] If there's love in a house, [Ab] it's a palace for sure.
Without [Eb] love, it ain't nothing but [Bb] a house.
A house where [Ab] nobody lives.
[Eb]
Without love, it ain't nothing [Bb] but a house.
A house where [Ab] nobody lives.
