E                                      D 
Pulled in the driveway, picked up the paper 
          A                     E 
Found my key, and unlocked the door 
                           D 
I walked in, felt like a stranger 
          A                  E 
Like I'd never, been there before 
         C#m  B    A   E   F#m 
And as I wandered room to room 
       C#m B  A  E  B 
It was silent as a tomb 


               E                           B 
Coulda heard a tear drop, coulda heard a heart break 
               C#m                                A 
Never saw the flood come, even though I felt the rain 
               E                          B 
Never heard a house sound, so loud with memories 
            C#m                 A 
Where there used to be a happy home 
        C#m      B   A E B                 D A E F#m E 
In the house on the corner of lonely and gone  
 
 
E                                      D 
If she talked about leavin, I wasn't listenin 
                    A                 E 
If she showed me a sign, well I never saw 
                                   D 
Did she stop believin, did I stop givin 
              A                   E 
Can't put my finger on what went wrong 
        C#m  B    A     E  F#m 
Now the quietest noise I'm told 
        C#m  B   A  E   B 
Is the sound of letting go. 
 
CHORUS 
 
Instrumental break:  
E  B  C#m  A 
 
                  E                         B 
Oh never heard a house sound, so loud with memories 
            C#m                 A 
Where there used to be a happy home 
        C#m      B  A E B           C#m      B  A E B 
In the house on the corner, in the house on the corner 
                ( D A E F#m E ) x 2 
Of lonely and gone
