C G There's a house on my block that's abandoned and coldC F Folks moved out of it a long time agoC G And they took all their things, and they never came backC F Looks like its haunted, with the windows all crackedC G And everyone calls it the houseF C The house where nobody lives [Refrão]F Once it held laughter, once it held dreamsC Did they throw it away, do they know what it meansF Did someone's heart break,D7 G G7 Or did someone do somebody wrongC G Well the paint was all cracked, it was peeled off the woodC F Papers were stacked on the porch where I stoodC G And the weeds had grown up just as high as the doorC F There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawersC G Looks like no-one will ever come back toF C The house where nobody lives [Refrão]F Once it held laughter, once it held dreamsC Did they throw it away, do they know what it meansF Did someone's heart break,D7 G G7 Or did someone do somebody wrongC G So if you find someone, someone to have, someone to holdC F Don't trade it for silver, don't trade it for goldC G Cos I have all of life's treasures, and they're fine and they're goodC F They remind me that houses are just made of woodC G What makes a house grand oh it aint the roof or the doorsC F If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sureC G Without love it aint nothin' but a houseF C A house where nobody livesG Without love it aint nothin' but a houseF C A house where nobody lives
