We used to be forever partners
we swore we'd never separate
C D
oh, I didn't see it changing
Em D
Now a house is not a home
C D
I'm out in the street tonight
Em D
a house is not a home
C D
I'm without a dream tonight
We used to be sister and brother
and then came lovers and then came the pain
oh I, I tried to change it
But a house is not a home
I'm out in the street tonight
a house is not a home
I'm without a dream tonight
instrumental = verse
But a house is not a home
I'm out in the street tonight
I'm no longer home
I'm without a dream tonight
Love and tears bound us together
I fought the men to protect her
oh, I couldn't understand it
But a house is not a home
I'm without a dream tonight
a house is not a home
I'm without her heat tonight
Now, I unravel onto the floor
hearts are spilled onto the floor
oh I, wish I could change it
But a house is not a home
I'm the one degraded
I'm no longer home
all of life has faded
instrumental = verse
But a house is not a home
I'm out in the street tonight
I'm no longer home
I'm without a dream tonight
end: intro/verse riff, but 1x only, then Em
