Standard (EADGBE)

  I see a house, a house of stone

(Seven rooms)

  A lonely house 'cause now you've gone

(Filled with gloom)

  Seven rooms, that's all it is, seven rooms of gloom

(Just seven rooms of gloom)

  I live with emptiness

(Filled with emptiness)

  Without your tenderness

Verse 1

  You took the dream I had for us

  Turned my dreams into dust

  I watch the phone never rings

  I watch the door that never rings

  Bring you back into my life

  Turn this darkness into light

  I'm all alone in this house

  Turn this house into a home

  I need your touch to comfort me

  The tender, tender arms that once held me

Chorus 2

Without your love, your love inside

This house is just a place to run and hide

Seven rooms, that's all it is - seven rooms of gloom

Rooms of emptiness

Without your tenderness

Verse 2

Don't make me live from day to day

Watching the clock that ticks away

Another day, another way

Another reason for me to stay

I need you here, here with me

I need your loving desperately

I'm all alone, all alone

In this house that's not a home

I miss your love I once had known

I miss your kiss that was my very, very own

Chorus 3

Empty silence surrounding me

Lonely walls they stare at me

Seven rooms, that's all it is - rooms of gloom

I live with emptiness

Without your tenderness

Verse 3

All the windows are painted black

And wait right here until you come back

I'll keep waiting, waiting

Until your face again I see
