Give me one Alast look
As you walk aF#mway
I, I don't know what to Bm7say

I've tried a thousand Bm7times
But I just can't make it Eright

Someday I Apray there will come a Dday
When I can Aopen up my C#heart and love agaiDn
BmUntil then I'll get AbyDm  
Somehow I'll get AbyDm  
I know I'll get AbyDm  A  
[Verse 2]
I take a look Aaround
I see this lonely F#mroom
I used to share with Bmyou
Now I want to paint it Eblue
'Cause everywhere I Aturn
There's something else I F#mfind
The notes you left Bmbehind
Were you tryin' to be Ekind?
[Chorus]
Tell you somethin' Ababy, there will come a Dday
When I can Aopen up my C#heart and love agaiDn

Surrounded C#mby these Bmlonely walls

No reason left to Bm7stay
This house is haunted anyEway
