[Verse]
D A7 There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold D G Folks moved out of it a long time ago D A7 And they took all their things and they never came back D G Looks like it's haunted with the windows all cracked D A7 And everyone call it the house, G D D7 the house where nobody lives
[Chorus]
G Once it held laughter, once it held dreams D D7 Did they throw it away, did they know what it means G E7 A7 Did someone's heart break or did someone do somebody wrong?
[Verse]
D A7 Well, the paint is all cracked, it was peeled off of the wood D G The papers were stacked on the porch where I stood D A7 And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door D G There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers D A7 Looks like no one will ever come back G D D7 To the house where nobody lives
[Chorus]
G Once it held laughter, once it held dreams D D7 Did they throw it away, did they know what it means G E7 A7 Did someone's heart break or did someone do somebody wrong?
[Verse/Outro]
D So if you find someone A7 D Someone to have, someone to hold, don't trade it for silver G Oh, don't trade it for gold D A7 'Cause I have all of life's treasures and they're fine and they're good D G They remind me that houses are just made of wood D A7 What makes a house grand, oh, it ain't the roof or the doors D G If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure D A7 But without love it ain't nothin' but a house G D A house where nobody lives D But without love A7 G D It ain't nothin' but a house, a house where nobody lives
