(Original Key: Bb)


Chorus 1:

Am
 I see a house,
 (Seven...
F
 A house of stone,
 Rooms),
A lonely house,
 (Filled...
                Em7
'Cos now you've gone.
        ...with gloom).

	    Gm
      Seven rooms,
(Just seven rooms,
That's all it is,
               Ebmaj7
Seven rooms of gloom.
         ...Of gloom).

	     Abmaj7     C#
 I live with emptiness,
(Filled with emptiness),
	     F
Without your tenderness.

Verse 1:

	     Dm
You took the dream,
I had for us,
	  Gm
Turned my dreams,
     Dm
Into dust.

	    Dm
I watch the phone;
Never rings,
	    Gm
I watch the door,
           Dm
That never rings.

	  Dm
Bring you back,
Into my life,
	  Gm
Turn this darkness,
     Dm
Into light.

          Dm
I'm all a-lone,
In this house,
          Gm
Turn this house,
       Dm
Into a home.

Bridge 1:

Bb6          Bb
 I need your touch,
   F           A7
To comfort me,
Bb6
 The tender,
       Bb
Tender arms,
     F             A7
That once held me.

Chorus 2:

             Am
Without your love,
            (Seven...
             F
Your love in-side,
          ...Rooms),
This house is,
 Just a place,
(Filled...
           Em7
To run and hide.
...With gloom).

	    Gm
      Seven rooms,
(Just seven rooms,
That's all it is,
               Ebmaj7
Seven rooms of gloom.
         ...Of gloom).

	  Abmaj7     C#
 Rooms of emptiness,
(Rooms of emptiness),
	     F
Without your tenderness.

Verse 2:

              Dm
Don't make me live,
From day to day,
             Gm
Watching the clock,
             Dm
That ticks a-way.

        Dm
Another day,
Another way,
        Gm
Another reason,
          Dm
For me to stay.

           Dm
I need you here,
Here with me,
           Gm
I need you darling,
          Dm
Desperate-ly.

    Dm
I'm all alone,
All alone,
        Gm
In this house,
             Dm
That's not a home.

Bridge 2:

Bb6          Bb
 I miss your love,
  F               A7
I once had known.
Bb6          Bb
 I miss your kiss,
            F
That was my very,
          A7
Very own.

Chorus 3:

Am
 Empty silence,
(Seven...
    F
Sur-rounding me,
 ...Rooms),
Lonely walls,
      (Filled...
              Em7
They stare at me.
...With gloom).

	     Abmaj7     C#
 I live with emptiness,
(Filled with emptiness),
	     F
Without your tenderness.

Verse 3:

        Dm
All the windows,
Are painted black,
               Gm
And wait right here,
               Dm
Until you come back.

          Dm
I'll keep waiting,
Waiting,
           Gm
Until your face,
        Dm
Again I see.

Outro:

Dm, Gm  Dm
