Lyrics
A chair is still a (Gm7)chair even when there's no one (Fmaj7)sitting there.
(F9)But a (Bbmaj7)chair is not a (A7#5)house,
(A7)and a (Dm7)house is not a (Cm7)home (F7)when there's (Bbmaj7)no one there to hold you (Gm7)tight,
and no one there you can kiss (Fmaj7)goodnight.
A room is still a (Gm7)room even when there's nothing (Fmaj7)there but gloom.
(F9)But a (Bbmaj7)room is not a (A7#5)house,
(A7)and a (Dm7)house is not a (Cm7)home (F7)when the (Bbmaj7)two of us are far (Gm7)apart,
and one of us has a broken (Fmaj7)heart.
(Bb)Now and then I call your name and (F)suddenly your face (D7)appears.
(Gmaj9)But it's just a crazy (Am9)game.
(Gmaj9)When it ends, it (Gm9)ends in (C13)tears.
(Fmaj7)Darling, have a (Gm7)heart,
don't let one mistake keep (Fmaj7)us apart.
(F9)I'm not (Bbmaj7)meant to live (A7#5)alone;
(A7)turn this (Dm7)house into a (Cm7)home.
(F7)When I (Bbmaj7)climb the stair and turn the (Gm7)key,
oh, please be there, still in love with (Fmaj7)me.
A chair is still a (Gm7)chair even when there's no one (Fmaj7)sitting (F7)there.
(F9)But a (Bbmaj7)chair is not a (A7#5)house,
(A7)and a (Dm7)house is not a (Cm7)home (F7)when there's (Bbmaj7)no one there to hold you (Gm7)tight,
and no one there you can kiss (Fmaj7)goodnight.
A room is still a (Gm7)room even when there's nothing (Fmaj7)there but (F7)gloom.
(F9)But a (Bbmaj7)room is not a (A7#5)house,
(A7)and a (Dm7)house is not a (Cm7)home (F7)when the (Bbmaj7)two of us are far (Gm7)apart,
and one of us has a broken (Fmaj7)heart.
(Bb)Now and then I call your name and (F)suddenly your face (D7)appears.
(Gmaj9)But it's just a crazy (Am9)game.
(Gmaj9)When it ends, it (Gm9)ends in (C13)tears.
(Fmaj7)Darling, have a (Gm7)heart,
don't let one mistake keep (Fmaj7)us (F7)apart.
(F9)I'm not (Bbmaj7)meant to live (A7#5)alone;
(A7)turn this (Dm7)house into a (Cm7)home.
(F7)When I (Bbmaj7)climb the stair and turn the (Gm7)key,
oh, please be there, still in love with (Fmaj7)me.
A me.
