I see a house,

A house of stone,
Rooms),
A lonely house,
(Filled...
Em7
'Cos now you've gone.
...with gloom).
Gm
Seven rooms,
(Just seven rooms,
That's all it is,
Ebmaj7
Seven rooms of gloom.
...Of gloom).
Abmaj7 C#
I live with emptiness,
(Filled with emptiness),
F
Without your tenderness.
Verse 1:
Dm
You took the dream I had for us,
Gm Dm
Turned my dreams into dust.
Dm
I watch the phone; never rings,
Gm Dm
I watch the door that never rings.
Dm
Bring you back into my life,
Gm Dm
Turn this darkness into light.
Dm
I'm all a-lone in this house,
Gm Dm
Turn this house into a home.
Bridge 1:
Bb6 Bb F A7
I need your touch to comfort me,
Bb6 Bb
The tender, tender arms,
F A7
That once held me.
Chorus 2:
Am
Without your love,
(Seven...
F
Your love in-side,
...Rooms),
This house is just a place,
(Filled...
Em7
To run and hide.
...With gloom).
Gm
Seven rooms,
(Just seven rooms,
That's all it is,
Ebmaj7
Seven rooms of gloom.
...Of gloom).

Abmaj7 C#
Rooms of emptiness,
(Rooms of emptiness),
F
Without your tenderness.
Verse 2:
Dm
Don't make me live from day to day,
Gm Dm
Watching the clock that ticks a-way.
Dm
Another day, another way,
Gm Dm
Another reason for me to stay.
Dm
I need you here, here with me,
Gm Dm
I need you darling desperate-ly.
Dm
I'm all alone, all alone,
Gm Dm
In this house that's not a home.

Bb6 Bb F A7
I miss your love, I once had known.
Bb6 Bb
I miss your kiss,
F A7
That was my very, very own.
Chorus 3:
Am
Empty silence,
(Seven...
F
Sur-rounding me,
...Rooms),
Lonely walls,
(Filled...
Em7
They stare at me.
...With gloom).
Abmaj7 C#
I live with emptiness,
(Filled with emptiness),
F
Without your tenderness.
Verse 3:
Dm
All the windows are painted black,
Gm Dm
And wait right here, until you come back.
Dm
I'll keep waiting, waiting,
Gm Dm
Until your face, again I see.
