C     Bb F/A  C    Eb F*
These walls   have eyes

C              F
Rows of photographs

     Eb    Dm
And faces like mine

C   Bb F/A  C     Eb F*
Who do      we become

Cm                 F
Without knowing where

Eb        Dm
We started from
C C Bb F/A C C Eb F*
C     Bb F/A  C           Eb F*

As I stand alone in your room
s C5 C5 Bb5-C5 C5 x2
G                   Eb         F* G*
Everyday that will pass you by

G                   Eb         F* G*
Every name that you won't recall

G                   Eb         F* G*
Everything that you made by hand

All the pieces you left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

And I'll remember the years

                     Bb
When your mind was clear

How the laughter and life

Filled up this silent house

C     Bb F/A
One room

C          Eb F*
Two single beds

Cm             F
In the closet hangs

Eb          Dm
Your favorite dress

C   Bb F/A   C        Eb F*
The books   that you read

Are in scattered piles

    Eb     Dm
Of paper shreds

In the garden   off the living room

Cm                F
A chill fills the air

And the lilies bloom
