Lyrics

A (Fmaj7)chair is still a (Gm7)chair e ven when there’s no one (Fmaj7)sit ting there. (F9)But a (Bbmaj7)chair is not a (A7#5)house, (A)and a (Dm7)house is not a (Cm7)home (F)when there’s (Bbmaj7)no one there to hold you (Gm7)tight, and no one there (Gm7)you can kiss good (Fmaj7)night. A room is still a (Gm7)room e ven when there’s noth ing (Fmaj7)there but gloom. (F9)But a (Bbmaj7)room is not a (A7#5)house, (A)and a (Dm7)house is not a (Cm7)home (F)when the (Bbmaj7)two of us are far a (Gm7)part, and one of us (Gm7)has a bro ken (Fmaj7)heart. (Bb)Now and then I call your name and (F)sud den ly your (F)face ap (D)pears. (Gmaj9)But it’s just a cra zy (Am9)game. (Gmaj9)When it ends, it (Gm9)ends in (C)tears. (Fmaj7)Dar ling, have a (Gm7)heart, don’t let one mis take keep (Fmaj7)us a part. (F9)I’m not (Bbmaj7)meant to live a (A7#5)lone; (A)turn this (Dm7)house in to a (Cm7)home. (F)When I (Bbmaj7)climb the stair and turn the (Gm7)key, oh, please be there, (Gm7)still in love with (Fmaj7)me. A (Fmaj7)chair is still a (Gm7)chair e ven when there’s no one (Fmaj7)sit ting there. (F9)But a (Bbmaj7)chair is not a (A7#5)house, (A)and a (Dm7)house is not a (Cm7)home (F)when there’s (Bbmaj7)no one there to hold you (Gm7)tight, and no one there (Gm7)you can kiss good (Fmaj7)night.
