Bbm I see a house, Gb a house of stone
(Seven rooms)
A lonely house 'cause now you've gFm7one

I live withAmaj7 emptiness D
(Filled with emptiness)
Without your tGbenderness
Verse 1:
You took the dEbmream I had foEbm/Gbr us
Turned my dAbmreams intoEbm/Bb dust

I watch the Abmdoor that never Ebm/Bbrings

I'm all aEbmlone in thisEbm/Gb house
Turn this hAbouse into aEbm/Bb home
Cb6I need your tCbouch to Gbcomfort me Bb7/D
Cb6The tender, tender aCbrms that oGbnce held me Bb7/D
Chorus 2:
Without your love, your love inside
This house is just a place to run and hide
Seven rooms, that's all it is - seven rooms of gloom
Rooms of emptiness
Without your tenderness
Verse 2:
Don't make me live from day to day
Watching the clock that ticks away
Another day, another way
Another reason for me to stay
I need you here, here with me
I need your loving desperately
I'm all alone, all alone
In this house that's not a home
I miss your love I once had known
I miss your kiss that was my very, very own
Chorus 3:
Empty silence surrounding me
Lonely walls they stare at me
Seven rooms, that's all it is - rooms of gloom
I live with emptiness
Without your tenderness
Verse 3:
All the windows are painted black
And wait right here until you come back
I'll keep waiting, waiting
Until your face again I see
