House where Nobody lives Tom Waits
There's a [C]house on my block that's [G]abandoned and cold
F[C]olks moved out of it a l[F]ong time ago
And they t[C]ook all their things, and they n[G]ever came back
Lo[C]oks like its haunted, with the wi[F]ndows all cracked
And e[C]veryone calls it the [G]house
The house where nobody l[F]ives [C]
Chorus
On[F]ce it held laughter, once it held dreams
Did they t[C]hrow it away, do they know what it means
Di[F]d someone's heart break,
Or [D7]did someone do somebody w[G]rong [G7]
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
