I walk up to my [G]door and hate to turn the[D7] key[G]
Empti[D7]ness is all that's left inside for [G]me
That's how [C]it is when the one you love is [G]gone
That's how it is when your [C]house is not a [G]home
I look around and see things [D7]marked with his and [G]hers
Things [D7]like these just seem to make things that much [G]worse
That's how [C]it is since I live my life a[G]lone
That's how it is since my [C]house is not a [G]home
Is there a way out for a [D7]soul so torn as [G]mine
Each day [D7]I'm living like a prisoner passing [G]time
That's how [C]it is ask anyone who lives a[G]lone
That's how it is when your [C]house is not a [G]home
Empti[D7]ness is all that's left inside for [G]me
That's how [C]it is when the one you love is [G]gone
