[Verso 1]
 
        C             G              C 
I stood quiet in what used to be our room, 
         C            G                   C 
Room was cold like it knew I'd be leaving soon, 
          F                  G             C 
There's a hook still hanging lonely on the wall, 
        C    G                 C 
Holding fast steady through it all. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
     C           G           C 
Wood creaks as I walk across floor, 
       C                   G            C 
It's a sound I've heard so many times before, 
           F                 G                    C 
I put your ring on the empty shelf by the bedroom door, 
        C                  G          C 
Diamond promise I won't be keeping anymore. 
 


[Refrão]
 
          F             G               Am 
I left my heart in that house on county road, 
             F              C                G 
You said I'm leaving I said tell me it ain't so, 
     F          G        Am       F 
As I closed that big oak door and cried, 
  C                  G/B       C    G/B  C 
I swear I heard that old house sigh. 
 


[Verso 3]
 
    C              G                C 
The day we met I'd just turned seventeen, 
             C                 G              C 
You were the bad boy star from all my teenage dreams, 
             F         G               C 
And when you kissed me hard out by the pine, 
  C                   G                  C 
I kissed you back and knew that you were mine. 
 


[Verso 4]
 
      C           G                C 
Folks said we got married much too soon, 
   C        G                 C 
So young so sure what we were doing, 
    F                  G            C 
Out back we carved our names in the stone, 
    C              G                C 
The day those four walls became our home. 
 


[Refrão]
 
          F             G               Am 
I left my heart in that house on county road, 
             F              C                G 
You said I'm leaving I said tell me it ain't so, 
         F          G        Am       F 
And as I closed that big oak door and cried, 
  C                  G/B  C    C    G/B  C 
I swear I heard that old house sigh.

[Verso 5]
 
        C         G              C 
Fifteen years and all we got was old, 
C             G             C 
Life became a story that we told, 
    F                G                   C 
Our home became four walls of love grown cold, 
   C                     G               C 
My heart still broke the day that it was sold. 
 


[Verso 6]
 
  C               G               C 
I saw you down on Third the other day, 
    C               G                  C 
You saw me back you turned and walked away, 
F               G           C 
Honestly seemed easier that way, 
        C           G               C 
Nothing sadder than nothing left to say.
