[verse 1]
E minorEm             A minorAm
Love has come to this House
  E minorEm   A minorAm
And my, my how we laughed
E minorEm           A minorAm
Love has gone from this house

[chorus]

E minorEm  D MajorD    Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
If I said I'd suffo-cate

G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm
You said come, come

[verse 2]

The sound that found It's way here

It came through stark and silent

Hold that sight in my head

But what seems cold so real, what seems cold so real
