[Intro 1]
[C][Am][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]These
rooms [C]play tricks upon you
[B]Remember when they were
always filled with [G]laughter?
[Am]But now they're quit[C]e deserted
[Bsus4]They seem to just e[B]cho voices
raised in [G]anger[Em]
[G]Maybe you will [C]see my face
Reflected [Am]there [Dsus4]on the pa[D]ne
In the [C]window of our poor
Forlorn and broken [Am]home

[Verse 2]
[Dsus4]Still thi[D]s house is [Bm]empt[G]y now
There's nothing I can [Dsus4]do
[D]To make you [G]want [B]to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to [G]live without
[Em]you?[G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]These walls were lined[Dsus4] with pictures[C]
[B]Remember the glass we charged
in cel[G]ebration?[Em][G]
[Am]But now I fill[Dsus4] my life u[C]p
[B]With all that I can to deaden
this sen[G]sation[Em]
[G]Do you re

[Verse 4]
[C]cognize the face
Fixed in that [Am]fine [Dsus4]silver fr[D]ame
Were you [C#]really [C]so unhappy then?
You never [Am]said

[Verse 5]
[Dsus4]So this h[D]ouse is empty [G]now
There's nothing I can [Dsus4]do
[D]To make you [G]want [B]to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live [G]without [Em]you?[G]

[Verse 6]
[G]Oh, [Am]if I could just be
[Dsus4]come forg[C]etf[G]ul
When [B]night seems [Em]endless
Does the extinguished
[G]candle [C#dim]care[C#m]
[F#sus4]About the darkness[F#]?
[Am][Dsus4][B][G][Em]

[Verse 7]
[Am]It's funny how m[Dsus4]y memory[C]
[B]Will bring you so close then make
you disap[G]pear[Em][G]
Meanwhile [C]all our

[Verse 8]
friends must choose
Who they will [Am]favour,
[Dsus4]who they will lose[D]
Hang the garland [C]high or close the door
And throw away the [Dsus4]key
[D]This house is empty

[Verse 9]
[Bm]now[G]
There's no one living [C]here
[D]You have to [G]care [C]about
[D]This house is [Bm]empty [G]now
There's nothing I can [C]do
[D]To make you [G]want [B]to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to [G]live without [C]you?
[D]This house is empty

[Verse 10]
[Bm]now[G]
There's no one living [C]here
[D]You have to [G]care [C]about
[D]This house is [Bm]empty [G]now
There's nothing I can [C]do
[D]To make you [G]want [B]to stay
So tell me how
Am I supposed to live without you?
