This House Is Empty Now Chords by Trijntje Oosterhuis

[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ These rooms [Ab] play tricks upon [G] you
_ Remember _ when they were always filled [Eb] with _
_ [Cm] laughter
_ _ _ [Eb] But _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Ab] now they're quite deserted
[G]
They seem to just echo voices raced [Eb] in _ _ [Cm] anger
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Maybe [Eb] you'll [Ab] see _ _ _ my _ face _ _
_ _ [Fm] reflected _ _ there
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ In [A] the [Ab] window of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a lord and broken [Cm] _ home
_ _ Still [Bb] this _ house [Gm] is _ empty
[Eb] Now there's nothing I [Ab] can do [Bb] to _ make you [Eb] _
want [G] to stay _ _ _
So damn, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ how am I supposed [Eb] to live without [Cm] you? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Fm] _ These walls [Eb] were lined with pictures
_ [G] _ _ Remember the glass we charged in [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _
celebration
_ _ _ But _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
now [Eb] I fill my [Ab] life [G] up with all that I can to deaden this [Eb] _ _ _ [Cm] sensation _ _
_ Do _ _ _ you _ [Ab] recognize _ _ _ _ _ the face _ _ _ fixed [Fm] in that _ fine _ silver _ [Bb] frame? _ _ _ _
_ _ Were [A] you [Ab] really so _ happy _ _ _ _ _ there?
You never [Fm] _ _
said
So [Bb] this house _ [Gm] is _ empty
[Eb] Now there's nothing [Ab] I can do [Bb] to _ make you [Eb] _ want to [G] _
stay
_ _ So damn, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ how am I supposed [Eb] to live [Cm] without you?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] Oh, _ _ _ if I could _ just _ [Ab]
become _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ forgetful
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
It's funny [Ab] how the memory [F] will bring [G] you so close and make you _ [Eb] disappear
_ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ Meanwhile _ _ _ all [Ab] our friends _ _ _ _ must _ _ choose _
Who they [Fm] will _ favor, [Ab] _
who they [Bb] will _ lose _ _
_ _ Hang [A] the [Ab] garland _ high, _ _ _ _ _ close the door, or [Fm] throw away the key
This [Bb] house is [Gm] _
empty [Eb] now, there's no one [Fm] living here
[Bb] You _ have to [Eb] care _ about
_ _ [Ab] This _
_ _ [Bb] house is [Gm] _
empty [Eb] now
There's nothing I [Ab] can do [Bb] to _ make you [Eb] _
want to [G] _ stay
_ So _ _ damn, how _ _ _ _ am I supposed [Eb] to live without [Cm] _ you?
_ _ [Ab] _ _

care [Eb] about
