D                       F#7         C#m7(b5) 
Our little dream castle with every dream gone  
      B7                           G?           Gm7 
Is lonely and silent -- the shades are all drawn, 
    D7            D7/F#    G         Gm7 
And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon 
E A7           D 
A cottage for sale. 
      D                     F#7      C#m7(b5) 
The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay; 
     B7                 G?       Gm7 
Our beautiful garden has withered away. 
       D7              D7/F#     G           Gm7 
Where we planted roses the weeds seem to say, 
 E  A7          D 
"A cottage for sale." 
 
Bridge 
  F#7                       B7 
Through every single window I see your face 
     E7              F?   E7         A7  C?    A7 
But when I reach the win - dow there's only empty space 
     D                         F#7         C#m7(b5) 
The key's in the mail box, the same as be - fore 
    B7                  G?    Gm7 
But no one is waiting for me anymore 
     D7        D7/F#     G           Gm7       
The end of our story is told on the door 
 E  A7          D 
 A Cottage For Sale.
