“A House Is Not A Home”
Originally Recorded By Burt Bacharach”
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.
