Tom Waits   House Where Nobody Lives    Live '99 chords
Start Jamming...
That car.
Yeah.
[F] Because it's television.
[Em] But it, uh, [F] anyway.
[Eb]
There's a house on my block
[Bb] That's a bad and cold
[Eb] Folks moved out [Bbm] a [Ab] real long time ago
And they [Eb] took all their things
[Bb] And they never came back
[Eb]
Looks like [Bbm] it's haunted
With [Ab] the windows all cracked
[Eb] And everyone comes in
[Bb] The house, a house where nobody [Ab] lives
[Eb] [Bbm]
[Ab] Once it had laughter
Once it had [C] dreams
And [Eb] death drove it away
And they know what it means
[Ab]
Someone's heart [F] breaks
Did someone do somebody [Bb]
wrong?
[D] [Fm]
[Bb] [Eb] Well, the paint was all cracked
It [Bb]
was peed along the wall
[Eb] The papers were static on [Ab] the porch where I stood
And [Eb]
the weeds had grown up
[Bb] Just as high [Fm] as the door
[Eb] There were birds in the chimney
[Ab] And an old chest of drawers
Looks [Eb] like no one
Will ever [Bb] come back
[F] A house where nobody [Ab]
lives
[Eb]
[Ab]
Once it had laughter
Once it had dreams
[Eb] And death drove it away
And they know what it [Bbm] means
[Ab]
Someone's heart breaks
[F]
Did someone do somebody [Bb]
wrong?
So
[Eb] if you find some wood
Someone [Bb] to have, someone to hold
[Eb] Don't trade it for silver
[Ab] Don't trade it for gold
[Eb] I've got all of life's treasures
And [Bb] they're fine and they're good
[Eb] They remind me
That houses [Ab] are just [Bb] made of wood
[Eb] What makes a house grand
[Bb]
Ain't no roof or the doors
[Eb] If there's love in a [Bb] house
It's a palace for sure
[Eb] Without love
It ain't nothing [Bb] but 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
[Db] [Fm] [Eb]
[N]
