E5                                      D5 
Pulled in the driveway, picked up the paper 
          A5                     E5 
Found my key, and unlocked the door 
                           D5 
I walked in, felt like a stranger 
          A5                  E5 
Like I'd never, been there before 
         C#5  B5    A5   E5   F#5 
And as I wandered room to room 
       C#5 B5  A5  E5  B5 
It was silent as a tomb 


               E5                           B5 
Coulda heard a tear drop, coulda heard a heart break 
               C#5                                A5 
Never saw the flood come, even though I felt the rain 
               E5                          B5 
Never heard a house sound, so loud with memories 
            C#5                 A5 
Where there used to be a happy home 
        C#5      B5   A5 E5 B5                 D5 A5 E5 F#5 E5 
In the house on the corner of lonely and gone  
 
 
E5                                      D5 
If she talked about leavin, I wasn't listenin 
                    A5                 E5 
If she showed me a sign, well I never saw 
                                   D5 
Did she stop believin, did I stop givin 
              A5                   E5 
Can't put my finger on what went wrong 
        C#5  B5    A5     E5  F#5 
Now the quietest noise I'm told 
        C#5  B5   A5  E5   B5 
Is the sound of letting go.

E5  B5  C#5  A5 
 
                  E5                         B5 
Oh never heard a house sound, so loud with memories 
            C#5                 A5 
Where there used to be a happy home 
        C#5      B5  A5 E5 B5           C#5      B5  A5 E5 B5 
In the house on the corner, in the house on the corner 
                ( D5 A5 E5 F#5 E5 ) x 2 
Of lonely and gone
