[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?
