The House Where Nobody Lives

	  		  C                        G 
 
There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold 
 
 C                       F 
 
Folks moved out of it a long time ago 
 
          C                               G 
 
And they took all their things, and they never came back 
 
  C                                F     
 
Looks like its haunted, with the windows all cracked 
 
     C                    G 
 
And everyone calls it the house 
 
                        F         C 
 
The house where nobody lives 
 

  F    
 
Once it held laughter, once it held dreams 
 
          C 
 
Did they throw it away, do they know what it means 
 
  F 
 
Did someone's heart break,  
 
   D7                       G     G7 
 
Or did someone do somebody wrong
 
 
 
Well the paint was all cracked, it was peeled off the wood 
 
Papers were stacked on the porch where I stood 
 
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door 
 
There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers 
 
Looks like no-one will ever come back to 
 
The house where nobody lives 
 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
 
So if you find someone, someone to have, someone to hold 
 
Don't trade it for silver, don't trade it for gold 
 
Cos I have all of life's treasures, and they're fine and they're good 
 
They remind me that houses are just made of wood 
 
What makes a house grand oh it aint the roof or the doors 
 
If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure 
 
Without love it aint nothin' but a house 
 
A house where nobody lives 
 
Without love it aint nothin' but a house 
 
A house where nobody lives
