When The Last Child Leaves Home

D A E A

[Verse]

 A
With the birth of their daughter
      D      A
The family begins
 A              F#m      B7            E
They tried for another then came the twins
        D
From toothaches to heartbreaks
                     A
And fights for the phone
    D              A
A house feels so empty
          E                 A
When the last child leaves home

[Chorus]

          D
When the last child leaves home
                      A
There's the rest of forever
      B7
To cherish the memories
                  E
That they made together
         D
They're part of each other
                 A
So they're not alone
        D              A
But a house feels so empty
          E                 A
When the last child leaves home

[Instrumental]

D A B7 E D A D A E A

[Verse]

 A
Now there's more peace and quiet
       D           A
Than they've ever had
 A                F#m          B7          E
But it's so damn quiet it's driving them mad
             D
So they're trading the old place
                      A
For a beach they can comb
          D              A
Cause a house feels so empty
          E                 A
When the last child leaves home

[Chorus]

          D
When the last child leaves home
                      A
There's the rest of forever
      B7
To cherish the memories
                 E
That they made together
         D
They're part of each other
                 A
So they're not alone
        D              A
But a house feels so empty
          E                F#m
When the last child leaves home
     D            A
A house feels so empty
          E                 D       A D A
When the last child leaves home
