A House Is Not A Home

Tom: Am

   Am7              D6                             Am7
A chair is still a chair, even when there's no one sitting there;
A9     Dm7           F°           F#m7           Em7
But a chair is not a house, and a house is not a home
A7-9         Dm7                      Bm7
When there's no one there to hold you tight,
   Dm7       D6  Bm7    Bm7/5-       Am7
And no one there you can kiss good night.

   Am7             D6                              Am7
A room is still a room, even when there's nothing there but gloom;
A9     Dm7          F°           F#m7           Em7
But a room is not a house, and a house is not a home
A7-9     Dm7                Bm7
When the two of us are far apart,
    Dm7    D6 Bm7   Bm7/5-   E7  Am7
And one of us has a  brok - en heart.

Bridge:
D     
Now and then I call your name, 
     A                   G°  
And suddenly your face appears;
 B9      C#m9          B9    Bm9                     F°  
But it's just a crazy game; when it ends, it ends in tears.


 Am7             D6                                 Am7
Darling, have a heart — don't let  one mistake keep us apart.
A9      Dm7      F°                    F#m7          Em7
I'm not meant to live alone; turn this house into a home.
A7-9    Dm7                         Bm7
When I climb the stair and turn the key,
    Dm7         D6    Bm  Bm7  Bm7/5-  E7 Am7
Oh, please be there, still in  love  with me.
