There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold 
 C                       F  
Folks moved out of it a long time ago 
          C                               G  
And they took all their things, and they never came back 
  C                                F      
Looks like its haunted, with the windows all cracked 
     C                    G 
And everyone calls it the house 
                        F         C 
The house where nobody lives

  F    
Once it held laughter, once it held dreams 
          C  
Did they throw it away, do they know what it means 
  F  
Did someone's heart break,  
   D7                       G     G7  
Or did someone do somebody wrong   
          C                        G 
Well the paint was all cracked, it was peeled off the wood 
C                           F
Papers were stacked on the porch where I stood 
          C                         G
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door 
C                        F
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers 
C                            G
Looks like no-one will ever come back to 
                        F             C
The house where nobody lives

So if you find someone, someone to have, someone to hold 
C                                            F
Don't trade it for silver, don't trade it for gold 
C                                                G                   
Cos I have all of life's treasures, and they're fine and they're good 
 
C                               F
They remind me that houses are just made of wood 
       C                                G 
What makes a house grand oh it aint the roof or the doors 
C                                   F
If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure 
         C                          G
Without love it aint nothin' but a house 
                                                
                      F     C
A house where nobody lives 
                                    G
Without love it aint nothin' but a house 
                      F      C 
A house where nobody lives
