The House That Never Was

D     A  D


[Verse 1]
       D                          A             D
Got no nails in the floor, got no hinges on the door.
      D                             A            D
Empty frames on the walls, ain't no ghost in the halls.


[Chorus]
        D                                  G             D
You can build with earth and stone, make a place of your own
        D                             A                D
But the house that has no love is the house that never was.


[Verse 2]
       D                        A          D
Got no dog on the stair, got no car in the shed.
         D                             A                    D
Ain't no number on the sign, ain't no bird up on the power line.


[Chorus]
        D                                  G             D
You can build with earth and stone, make a place of your own.
        D                             A                D
But the house that has no love is the house that never was

[Verse 3]
           D                              A                D
Wind don't blow through the trees; no one comes and no one leaves.
        D                           A                  D
You can live anywhere, but it don't mean you're really there.


[Outro Chorus]
        D                                  G             D
You can build with earth and stone, make a place of your own.
        D                             A                D
But the house that has no love is the house that never was.
          D                             A                D
Yeah, the house that has no love is the house that never was.
