C G
Shutters and boards cover the windows
D7 G
Of the house where we used to live
C G
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
D7 G
Since she said she'd never forgive
C G
The house that we built was once filled with laughter
D7 G
But I changed that laughter to tears
C G
Now I must live in a world without sunshine
D7 G
Oh how I wish you were here
C G
Shutters and boards cover the windows
D7 G
Of the house where we used to live
C G
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
D7 G
Since she said she'd never forgive
C G
Last night I dreamed that you came to our house
D7 G
And took an old book from the shelf
C G
If you open the shutters I'll tear down the boards
D7 G
Cause I drove every nail by myself
C G
Shutters and boards cover the windows
D7 G
Of the house where we used to live
C G
All I have left is a heart full of sorrow
D7 G
Since she said she'd never forgive
