Our little dream castle with every dream gone  
      B7                    Gdim           Gm7 
Is lonely and silent  the shades are all drawn 
    D7          D7/F#    G       Gm7 
And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon

The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay 
     B7                 Gdim       Gm7 
Our beautiful garden has withered away 
      D7         D7/F#     G            Gm7 
Where we planted roses the weeds seem to say

Bridge 
  F#7                       B7 
Through every single window I see your face 
     E7              Fdim   E7         A7  Cdim    A7 
But when I reach the window there's only empty space 
     D                         F#7         C#m5-/7 
The key's in the mail box, the same as before 
    B7                  Gdim    Gm7 
But no one is waiting for me anymore 
     D7        D7/F#     G           Gm7	 
The end of our story is told on the door
