[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Asus4][A][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[Em]These rooms
played [Asus4]tricks upon you,
[F#sus4]remember?[F#]
When they were always filled
with [D]laughter[Bm] .[D][Bm]
[Em]But now they're
[Asus4]quite deserted,
[F#sus4]they seem to[F#]
Just echo voices raised in [D]an [Bm]ger
[D]May[Bm]be you will s[G]ee my face
Reflected [Em]there [Asus4]on the pa[A]ne
In the [Ab]window [G]of a poor,
forlorn and broken [Em]home
[Asus4]Still this hou[A]se is emp[F#m]ty now
[D]There's nothing I can [Asus4]do
to [A]make you [F#m]want t[F#]o stay
So tell me, how am I supposed to
live [D]without [Bm]you?[D][Bm]
[Em]These walls [Asus4]were lined with pictures,
[F#sus4]remember?[F#]
The glass we charged in celeb[D]ration.
[Bm]But [D]now [Bm]I fi[Em]ll[Asus4]
my life [F#]up with all that I can
to deaden this sen[D]sa [Bm]tion
[D]Do you[Bm] recog[G]nize the face fixed
in that [Em]fine [Asus4]sil ver frame[A]?
Were you [Ab]really [G]so unhappy then,
you never [Em]said?
[Asus4]So this h[A]ouse is empty [F#m]now,
[D]there's nothing I can do[Asus4]
[A]to make you [F#m]want t[F#]o stay
So tell me, how am I supposed to
live [D]without [Bm]you?[D][Bm]
[Em]Oh, if I could just be[A]come for[F#m]getful
when [F#]night seems [Bm]endless
Does the extinguished candle
[Abm]care a[C#]bout the d[Aaug]arkness?[Em]
[Asus4][A][F#sus4][F#][D][Bm]
[Em]It's funny [Asus4]how my memory
[F#sus4]will bring you s[F#]o close
and then make you disappear
[D]Mea[Bm]nwhil[D]e,[Bm]
all our [G]friends must choose
Who they will [Em]fa vor,
[Asus4]who they will [A]lose
Hang the [Ab]garland [G]high,
or close the door
and throw away the key
[A]This house is [F#m]empty now,
[D]there's no one living her[Asus4]e
[A]you have to [F#m]care a[D]bout
[A]This house is [F#m]empty [D]now.
[G]Thi[A]s house is emp[F#m]ty now[D].
[G]Thi[A]s house is emp[F#m]ty now[D].
[G]This house is empty now
