[Intro] Am E7 Am E7 [Verse 1]
Am            E7
   This empty kitchen's where

    Am             E7
I'd while away the hours

Am              E7
   Just next to my old chair

C                E
   You'd usually have some flowers

Dm                E
   The shelves of books

Am              D
    Even the picture hooks

             Dm
  Everything is gone

E                 Am
  But my heart is hanging on
[Verse 2]
Am            E7
  If this old neighbourhood

   Am              E7
Survived us both alright

Am                 E7
   Don't know that it withstood

C                      E
   All the things that took our light

Dm            E
  You on the stair

Am            D
    I can see you there

            Dm        E
  Everything is gone

E               Am
  But my heart is hanging on
[Bridge]
F                  C
  Once there was a little girl

F                     C
  Used to wonder what she would be

F                   C
  Went out into the big wide world

C                  F
  Now she's just a memory

F                    C
  There used to be a little school here

F                    C
  Where I learned to write my name

F                     C
  But time has been a little cruel here

C      F
  Time has no shame
[Chorus]
Dm7           G
  It's just a place where

C           F
  We used to live

Dm7           G
  It's just a place where

C            F
  We used to live
[Verse 2]
Am         E7
  Now in another town

 Am              E7
You lead another life

Am          E7
  And now upstairs and down

C              E
  Someone else's wife

Dm            E
  Here in the dust

Am               D
  There's not a trace of us

           Dm       E
Everything is gone

E               Am
   But my heart is hanging on
[Chorus]
Dm7           G
  It's just a place where

C           F
  We used to live

Dm7           G
  It's just a place where

C            F
  We used to live

Dm7           G
  It's just a place where

C           F
  We used to live

Dm7           G
  It's just a place where

C            F
  We used to live
