Am7 D6 Am7
A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sitting there;
A9 Dm7 Fdim F#m7 Em7
But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home
A7/9- Dm7 Bm7
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
Dm7 D6 Bm7 Bm7/5- Am7
And no one there you can kiss good night.
Am7 D6 Am7
A room is still a room, even when there's nothing there but gloom;
A9 Dm7 Fdim F#m7 Em7
But a room is not a house, and a house is not a home
A7/9- Dm7 Bm7
When the two of us are far apart,
Dm7 D6 Bm7 Bm7/5- E7 Am7
And one of us has a brok - en heart.
Bridge:
D
Now and then I call your name,
A Gdim
And suddenly your face appears;
B9 C#m9 B9 Bm9 Fdim
But it's just a crazy game; when it ends, it ends in tears.
Am7 D6 Am7
Darling, have a heart ? don't let one mistake keep us apart.

I'm not meant to live alone; turn this house into a home.
A7/9- Dm7 Bm7
When I climb the stair and turn the key,
Dm7 D6 Bm Bm7 Bm7/5- E7 Am7
Oh, please be there, still in love with me.
