Eb Bb
There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
Eb Ab
Folks moved out of it a long time ago
Eb Bb
And they took all their things and they never came back
Eb Ab
Looks like its haunted with the windows all cracked
Eb Bb
And everyone calls it the house
Ab Eb
The house where nobody lives
Ab
Once it held laughter once it held dreams
Eb
Did they throw it away do they know what it means
Ab
Did someone's heart break
F7 Bb Bb7
Or did someone do somebody wrong
Eb Bb
Well the paint was all cracked it was peeled off the wood
Eb Ab
Papers were stacked on the porch where I stood
Eb Bb
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door
Eb Ab
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers
Eb Bb
Looks like no-one will ever come back to
Ab Eb
The house where nobody lives
Ab
Once it held laughter once it held dreams
Eb
Did they throw it away do they know what it means
Ab
Did someone's heart break
F7 Bb Bb7
Or did someone do somebody wrong
Eb Bb
So if you find someone someone to have someone to hold
Eb Ab
Don't trade it for silver don't trade it for gold
Eb
Cos I have all of life's treasures
Bb
and they're fine and they're good
Eb Ab
They remind me that houses are just made of wood
Eb Bb
What makes a house grand oh it aint the roof or the doors
Eb Ab
If there's love in a house it's a palace for sure
Eb Bb
Without love it aint nothin' but a house
Ab Eb
A house where nobody lives
Eb Bb
Without love it aint nothin' but a house
Ab Eb
A house where nobody lives
