  Bbmaj7            Eb6                              Bbmaj7                Bb7
A chair is still a chair   e-ven when there's no one sitting there;

Bb9   Ebmaj7
But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home

Bb7-9       Ebmaj7                    Cm7                     Cm7
when there's no one there to hold you tight, and no one there you can

(F Bass)      Bbmaj7
kiss good night.


                  Eb6                               Bbmaj7                  Bb7
A room is still a room    even when there's nothing there but gloom

Bb9   Ebmaj7        D7-9         Gm7            Fm7
But a room is not a house, and a house is not a home

Bb7-9       Ebmaj7                    Cm7                     Cm7
when the two of us are far apart and one of us has a broken heart.

(F Bass)      Bbmaj7


Eb                                Bb                   G7-9
Now and then I call your name and suddenly your face appears

Cmaj9                   Dm9  Cmaj9           Cm9      F7-9
But   it's just a crazy game when it ends it ends in tears


Bbmaj7          Eb6                              Bbmaj7                Bb7
Darling have a heart, don't let one mistake keep us apart

Bb9     Ebmaj7         D7-9            Gm7         Fm7
I'm not meant to live alone turn this house into a home

Bb7-9   Ebmaj7                      Cm7                     Cm7 (F Bass)
When I climb the stair and turn the key Oh please be there still in

Bbmaj7
love with me.
