Version 1
            Capo on 1st fret (sounding key Eb major)

[Verse]
          D                         A7
There's a house on my block that's abandoned and cold
D                       G     
Folks moved out of it a long time ago
         D                              A7
And they took all their things and they never came back
D                                 G
 Looks like it's haunted with the windows all cracked
     D                    A7                            
 And everyone call it the house, 
                       G       D  D7 
the house where nobody lives

[Chorus]
G
Once it held laughter, once it held dreams
         D                                     D7
Did they throw it away, did they know what it means
G                         E7                          A7 
Did someone's heart break  or did someone do somebody wrong?

[Verse]
          D                            A7
Well, the paint is all cracked, it was peeled off of the wood
D                              G
The papers were stacked on the porch where I stood
        D                          A7
And the weeds had grown up just as high as the door
D                                       G
 There were birds in the chimney and an old chest of drawers
            D                 A7
 Looks like no one will ever come back
                          G       D  D7
To the house where nobody lives

[Chorus]
G
Once it held laughter, once it held dreams
         D                                     D7
Did they throw it away, did they know what it means
G                         E7                          A7 
Did someone's heart break  or did someone do somebody wrong?

[Verse/Outro]
          D
So if you find someone
           A7                           D           
Someone to have, someone to hold, don't trade it for silver
          G
Oh, don't trade it for gold
              D                                   A7
'Cause I have all of life's treasures and they're fine and they're good
        D                      G
They remind me that houses are just made of wood
     D                                     A7
What makes a house grand, oh, it ain't the roof or the doors
           D                       G
If there's love in a house, it's a palace for sure
            D                           A7
But without love it ain't nothin' but a house
                     G     D
A house where nobody lives
            D
But without love
                       A7                          G      D
It ain't nothin' but a house, a house where nobody lives
