This House Is Empty Now
Cm7 Eb/F
These rooms play tricks upon you
Dsus4 D/C Gm9/Bb
Remember when they were always filled with laughter?
Cm7 Eb/F
But now they're quite deserted
Dsus4 D/C Gm9/Bb
They seem to just echo voices raised in anger
Maybe you will sEbmaj7ee my face
Reflected Cm9there Fsuson the Fpane
FIn the Ewindow Ebmaj7of our poor
Forlorn and broken Cm9home
Eb/F F Bbmaj7/D
Still this house is empty now
Eb/F
There's nothing I can do
F Bbmaj7/D D7
To make you want to stay
(B9)
So tell me how
Gm9/Bb
Am I supposed to live without you?
These walls were lined with pictures
Remember the glass we charged in celebration?
But now I fill my life up
With all that I can to deaden this sensation
Do you recognize the face
Fixed in that fine silver frame
Were you really so unhappy then?
You never said
So this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
Cm9 Eb/F Bbmaj7/D
Oh, if I could just become forgetful
When D7night seems Gm7endless
Gm7/F Em7b5
Does the extinguished candle care
G/AAbout the darkness?
It's funny how my mem'ry
Will bring you so close then make you disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Who they will favour, who they will lose
Hang the garland high or close the door
And throw away the key
This house is empty now
There's no one living here
You have to care about
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
This house is empty now
There's no one living here
You have to care about
This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
