Verse:
F
Well this kitchen used to be a dance hall
Am
Music on and the lights off
A# F
Just you and I
Used to be
F
Perfume on your pillow
Am
New day through the window
A#
Bringing out
F
The blue in your eyes
Used to be
Gm7
Four boots by the front door
A# C
But two ain't there anymore
Chorus:
F
And now-ow-ow
It's just 4 empty walls
Dm
Where I lay my head and get no rest at all
Gm7
The porch swing don't swing
The doorbell don't ring
Gm F
And now-ow-ow
It's just wood on concrete
Dm
And numbers on a mailbox on a used to be street
Gm7
I guess you or I should have left when you did
A#
The house you made a home
A#m F F
Is now just a house again
Verse:
F
These days all I hear is an echo
Am
Of you saying baby don't go
A# F
And your-our goodbye
If you
F
Came back you'd be surprised
Am A#
You wouldn't even recognize this place
C
Without you
What the hell did you do
Chorus:
F
'Cause now-ow-ow
It's just 4 empty walls
Dm
Where I lay my head and get no rest at all
Gm7
The porch swing don't swing
The doorbell don't ring
F
And now-ow-ow
It's just wood on concrete
Dm
And numbers on a mailbox on a used to be street
Gm7
I guess you or I should have left when you did
A#
The house you made a home
A#m Dm
Is now just a house again
[Instrumental/Solo}
