Chords for Tom Waits - House Where Nobody Lives - Lyrics Video - Mule Variations

_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] That's a house on my block, _ _ [Bb]
that's abandoned and cold.
_ [Eb] _
The folks moved out of there [Ab] a long time ago.
_ [Eb] And they took all their things, [Bb]
and they never came back.
[Eb] _
_ It looks like it's haunted [Ab] with the windows all cracked.
_ [Eb] _
_ Everyone calls it [Bb] the house, a house where nobody lives.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ The [Ab] ones that had laughter, _ _ _ _ the ones that [Ab] had dreams,
did [Eb] they throw it away?
Did they know what it means, _ [Ab] _
that someone's heart [F] breaks?
Or did someone do [Bb] somebody wrong?
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] Well, the paint is all cracked.
_ [Bb] It was peeled off of the wood.
[Eb] _
_ _ The papers were [Ab] stacked on the porch where I stood. _
[Eb] The weeds had grown up just [Bb] as high _ as the door.
[Eb] _ There were birds in the chimney and an old [Ab] chest of drawers.
It [Eb] looks like no one will ever come back to the house where [Ab] nobody lives. _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ [Eb] _ Oh, [Ab] the ones that had laughter, _ the ones that had dreams,
did [Eb] they throw it away?
Did they know what it [Ab] means, _ _ [Ab] that someone's [F] heart breaks?
Or did someone do [Bb]
somebody wrong? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So if [Eb] you find someone, _ [Bb]
someone to have, someone to hold,
[Eb] don't trade it for silver, _ [Ab] oh, don't trade it for gold.
Because [Eb] I have all of life's treasures, [Bb] and they're fine and they're good.
[Eb] They remind me, houses [Ab] are just made of wood.
_ What [Eb] makes a house grand?
_ Oh, [Bb] it ain't the roof or the doors.
[Eb]
If there's love in a house, [Ab] it's a palace for sure.
[Eb] Without love, it ain't nothing [Bb] but a house, a house where nobody [Ab] _
lives.
_ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ Without love, _ it ain't nothing but [Bb] a house, a house where nobody lives.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
