Am7              D6                             Am7 
A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sitting there; 
A9     Dm7           F?         F#m7           Em7 
But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home 
A7(b9)         Dm7                      Bm7 
When there's no one there to hold you tight, 
   Dm7       D6  Bm7    Bm7(b5)       Am7 
And no one there you can kiss good night. 
 
 
   Am7             D6                              Am7 
A room is still a room , even when there's nothing there but gloom; 
A9     Dm7          F?         F#m7           Em7 
But a room is not a house, and a house is not a home 
A7(b9)     Dm7                Bm7 
When the two of us are far apart, 
    Dm7    D6 Bm7   Bm7(b5)   E7  Am7 
And one of us has a  brok - en heart. 
 
Bridge: 
D      
Now and then I call your name,  
     A                   G? 
And suddenly your face appears; 
 B9      C#m9          B9    Bm9                     F? 
But it's just a crazy game; when it ends, it ends in tears. 
 
 
 Am7             D6                                 Am7 
Darling, have a heart ? don't let  one mistake keep us apart. 
A9      Dm7      F?                  F#m7          Em7 
I'm not meant to live alone; turn this house into a home. 
A7(b9)    Dm7                         Bm7 
When I climb the stair and turn the key, 
    Dm7         D6    Bm  Bm7  Bm7(b5)  E7 Am7 
Oh, please be there, still in  love  with me.
