[Intro]
Am | E E7 |
Am | E E7 |
 
[Verse 1]
Am         E         E7
This empty kitchen's where
    Am             E    E7
I'd while away the hours
Am              E      E7
   Just next to my old chair
C                     E    E7
   You'd usually have some flowers
Dm7               E7
   The shelves of books
Am  Am/G     Am/F#                        Dm7
    Even the picture hooks. Everything is gone
E7              Asus2       Asus2
But my heart is hanging on
 
[Verse 2]
Am            E        E7
  If this old neighbourhood
   Am            E    E7
Survived us both alright
Am                E    E7
  Don't know that it withstood
C                     E        E7
  All the things that took our light
Dm7          E7
  You on the stair
Am  Am/G      Am/F#                      Dm7
    I can see you there.   Everything is gone
E7                Asus2         Asus2
  But my heart is hanging on
 
[Bridge]
Fmaj7               Cmaj7
   Once there was a little girl
Fmaj7                  Cmaj7
   Used to wonder what she would be
Fmaj7                Cmaj7
   Went out into the big wide world
Cmaj7               Fmaj7
   Now she's just a memory
Fmaj7                 Cmaj7
   There used to be a little school here
Fmaj7                 Cmaj7
   Where I learned to write my name
Fmaj7                  Cmaj7
   But time has been a little cruel here
Cmaj7   Fmaj7
   Time has no shame
 
[Chorus]
Dm7            G     Cmaj7               Fmaj7   Fmaj7
   It's just a place,   where we used to live
Dm7            G     Cmaj7               Fmaj7   Fmaj7
   It's just a place,   where we used to live
 
[Verse 3]
Am         E     E7
  Now in another town
     Am          E   E7
You lead another life
Am          E          E7
  And now upstairs and down
C                E      E7
  You're someone else's wife
Dm7           E7
  Here in the dust
Am  Am/G          Am/F#                      Dm7
    There's not a trace of us. Everything is gone
E7                Asus2           Asus2
  But my heart is hanging on
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm7            G     Cmaj7               Fmaj7   Fmaj7
   It's just a place,   where we used to live
Dm7            G     Cmaj7               Fmaj7   Fmaj7
   It's just a place,   where we used to live
Dm7            G     Cmaj7               Fmaj7   Fmaj7
   It's just a place,   where we used to live
Dm7            G     Cmaj7               Fmaj7   Fmaj7
   It's just a place,   where we used to live
