View chords used in this chart
G C
The party’s all over they’re dimming the lights
D7 G
My friends they are leaving and saying goodnight
C
It’s time to go now before tears dim my sight
D7 G
Where I live all alone in my blue house painted white
D7 G
The teardrops start when I open the door
A7 D7
The silence tells me she’s not here anymore
G C
I guess it’s by habit I call her name through the night
D7 G
But to me there’s no answer in my blue house painted white
C
Just a small bungalow that we built just for two
D7 G
We painted it white and left out the blue
C
But too many parties and staying out nights
D7 G
Is what put the blue in my blue house painted white
D7 G
The teardrops start when I open the door
A7 D7
The silence tells me she’s not here anymore
G C
I guess it’s by habit I call her name through the night
D7 G
But to me there’s no answer in my blue house painted white
