INTRO:  A  E  B  A  E  B7  A  E 
 
           A                E 
Since you left I can't stay sober 
         B       A          E 
And I've let the grass grow over 
             B7               A                   E 
Those pretty flowers that you planted when we moved in 
        A                  E 
And the paint has started peeling 
          B    A          E 
Down the hall, along the ceiling 
         B7                 A            E 
Above the busted frame your picture's hangin in 
 
		

         A           E                    A                   E 
And the carpet's wearin through, where I dragged around these blues 
        B7                A             B      A       E        E7 
And the curtain's torn in two, from me lookin out for you 
        A            E                    A            E 
Once we held it all together, but I can't do it on my own 
         B7         A       B           A          E 
This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home

 
INTRO 
 
Our TV won't get no picture 
There's no lightbulb in the fixture 
In our bedroom where you used to love on me 
All the memories that we once shared 
They're all locked forever in there 
Cause I locked the door and I can't find the key 
 
CHORUS 
 
This old house has gone to pieces since you ain't home
