[Verse 1]
Ebdim7
He died when the house was empty
A
When the maid had gone
Bm E/G#
He put a pen to paper
F#
For one final song
Bm
He wrote, oh babe,
Dm Dm/B
It's the only way
A A/G# F#m7 Amaj7
I know it's wrong but I can't stand
Ebdim7
To go on living
A
To go on living
Bm E/G# D/A A
Living life this way
Ebdim7
And I don't know what the time is
A
Or what the next line is
Bm E/G# F# F#7
Or how you're gonna take the news
Bm Dm
But if I had my life again, ohh
A A/G# F#m7 E
I wouldn't change a thing
Ebdim7
I'd let nobody
A
I'd let nobody
Bm E/G# D/A A
Stand inside my shoes
[Chorus]
C Em7
Ohhh
Am Abaug
Something's got to hold of me
Dm7 G
This home is not the home it used to be
C Gm6
I've gathered dust like the dying flowers
F Fm
Ohh, and I've drunk myself sober
C F G F C
Ohh, after hours and hours
[Break]

Ohhh
Am Abaug
Something's got to hold of me

This home is not the home it used to be

I've gathered dust like the dying flowers

Ohh, and I've drunk myself sober
C F G F Fm C
Ohh, after hours and hours
[Outro]

After hours and hours, oh
