The sign went up one rainy mornin' just a couple of hours after dawn.
C                               G                   G7             Am
Mrs. Hanley peeked out thru her curtains, wond'rin' what was goin' on.
    E                                      E7
The neighbours said over coffee cups, that nice young couple is breakin' 	up.


Verse 2:
In the livin' room the crystal and the linen sit all packed and set to go.
I tell myself once more I won't be here this spring to see my roses grow.
And all the things you tried to fix, the roof still leaks, the door still sticks.

House for sale! You can read it on the sign, House for sale.
       F                E7
It was yours and it was mine,
      Am                            D               Dm

To the bedroom filled with dreams the one we used to share.



Verse 3:
I know you always loved that painting,
From that funny little shop in Spain.
Remember how we found it,
When we ducked in from that sudden summer rain.
But I think I'll keep the silver tray,
My mother gave us on our wedding day.


Chorus:
