Lyrics
A (Cmaj7)chair is still a (F)chair
e ven when there’s no one (Cmaj7)sit ting there;
but a (F)chair is not a (E7)house, and a (C7)house is not a home when there’s (F)no one there to hold you (Dm7)tight, and no one there (Dm7)you can kiss
good (Cmaj7)night.
A room is still a (F)room
e ven when there’s noth ing (Cmaj7)there but gloom;
but a (F)room is not a (E7)house, and a (C7)house is not a home when the (F)two of us are far a (Dm7)part and one of us (Dm7)has a bro

I call your name
and (C)sud den ly your face ap (A7)pears.

Wnen I (F)climb the stair and turn the (Dm7)key, oh, please be there (Dm7)still in love
with (Cmaj7)me.
