Verse 1
Cm7 F/Eb
These rooms play tricks upon you
Dsus4 D/C Gm9/Bb
Remember when they were always filled with laughter?
Cm7 F/Eb
But now they're quite deserted
Dsus4 D/C Gm9/Bb
They seem to just echo voices raised in anger
Bridge 1
Ebmaj7
Maybe you will see my face
Cm9 Fsus F
Reflected there on the pane
F E Ebmaj7
In the window of our poor
Cm9
Forlorn and broken home
Chorus 1
Eb/F F Bbmaj7/D Gm
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?
Verse 2
Cm7 F/Eb
These walls were lined with pictures
Dsus4 D/C Gm9/Bb
Remember the glass we charged in celebration?
Cm7 F/Eb
But now I fill my life up
Dsus4 D/C Gm9/Bb
With all that I can to deaden this sensation
Bridge 2
Ebmaj7
Do you recognize the face
Cm9 Fsus F
Fixed in that fine silver frame
F E Ebmaj7
Were you really so unhappy then?
Cm9
You never said
Chorus 2
Eb/F F Bbmaj7/D Gm
So 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?
Bridge 3
Cm9 Eb/F Bbmaj7/D
Oh, if I could just become forgetful
D7 Gm7
When night seems endless
Gm7/F Em7b5
Does the extinguished candle care
A7
About the darkness?
Verse 3
Cm7 F/Eb
It's funny how my mem'ry
Dsus4 D/C Gm9/Bb
Will bring you so close then make you disappear
Bridge 4
Ebmaj7
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Cm9 Fsus F
Who they will favour, who they will lose
F E Ebmaj7
Hang the garland high or close the door
Cm9
And throw away the key
Chorus 3
Eb/F F Bbmaj7/D Gm
This house is empty now
Eb/F
There's no one living here
F Bbmaj7/D D7
You have to care about
Eb/F F Bbmaj7/D
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?
Eb/F F Bbmaj7/D
This house is empty now
Eb/F
There's no one living here
F Bbmaj7/D D7
You have to care about
Eb/F F Bbmaj7/D
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?
