[Intro]
D A7 G D
[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 It looks like it's haunted with the windows all cracked D A7 G D D7 Everyone calls it the house, 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 A 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 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 G D D7 Looks like no one will ever come back, to the house where nobody lives
[Chorus]
G Oh, and once it held laughter, once it held dreams D D7 Did they throw it away, did they know what it means G E7 A A7 Did someone's heart break or did someone do somebody wrong?
[Verse]
D A7 So if you find someone, someone to have, someone to hold D G Don't trade it for silver, no 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 G D Without love, it ain't nothin' but a house, a house where nobody lives D A7 G D Without love, it ain't nothin' but a house, a house where nobody lives
