[Intro]
D A7 D G
[Verse]
There's a Dhouse on my block that's abA7andoned and cold
DFolks moved out of it a loGng time ago
And Dthey took all their things A7and they never came back
DIt looks like it's haunted with thGe windows all cracked
DEveryone call it the A7house, the house where nobody lGives D D7
[Chorus]
OnGce it held laughter, once it held dreams
Did they Dthrow it away, did they know what it mD7eans
GDid someone's heart breakE7 or did someone do somebody wArong? A7
[Verse]
WellD, the paint is all cracked, it waA7s peeled off of the wood
DThe papers were stacked on the pGorch where I stood
DThe weeds had grown up just asA7 high as the door
DThere were birds in the chimney and an Gold chest of drawers
Looks like nDo one will ever A7come back, to the house where nobody Glives D D7
[Chorus]
Oh, and Gonce it held laughter, once it held dreams
Did they Dthrow it away, did they know what it mD7eans
GDid someone's heart breakE7 or did someone do somebody wArong? A7
[Verse]
So if youD find someone, someone toA7 have, someone to hold
Don'tD trade it for silver, no don'tG trade it for gold
'Cause I haveD all of life's treasures and they'reA7 fine and they're good
DThey remind me that houses are juGst made of wood
What makesD a house grand, oh, it ain't theA7 roof or the doors
IfD there's love in a house, it's aG palace for sure
WithoutD love, it ain't nothin' but aA7 house, a house where nobody lGives D
WithoutD love, it ain't nothin' but aA7 house, a house where nobody lGives D
