G                            C 
The party’s all over they’re dimming the lights 

   D7                                  G 
My friends they are leaving and saying goodnight 

                           C 
It’s time to go now before tears dim my sight 

      D7                                        G   
Where I live all alone in my blue house painted white 


    D7                     G 
The teardrops start when I open the door 

    A7                     D7  
The silence tells me she’s not here anymore 

  G                              C 
I guess it’s by habit I call her name through the night  

    D7                                               G   
But to me there’s no answer in my blue house painted white 


                              C 
Just a small bungalow that we built just for two 

   D7                                G 
We painted it white and left out the blue 

                         C 
But too many parties and staying out nights 

   D7                                         G 
Is what put the blue in my blue house painted white 


    D7                     G 
The teardrops start when I open the door 

    A7                     D7  
The silence tells me she’s not here anymore 

  G                              C 
I guess it’s by habit I call her name through the night 
  
    D7                                               G   
But to me there’s no answer in my blue house painted white
