The Empty Chair

Esus4 E


[Verse 1]
             E       E/G#         
If I should close my eyes, that my
   Asus2  E
 soul can see,
                E               
And there's a place at the table 
            B
that you saved for me.
           E      E/G#       
So many thousand miles over 
Asus2   A/C#
land and sea,
   Asus2   E              Asus2  
I hope to dare, that you hear my 
   E
prayer,
       Asus2  B     Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.

It's but a concrete floor where my 
Asus2      E
head will lay,
                E                  
And though the walls of this prison
          B
 are as cold as clay.
                 E      E/G#      
But there's a shaft of light where
     Asus2  A/C#
 I count my days,
    Asus2    E          Asus2   E
So don't despair of the empty chair,
       Asus2  B      Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.

Some days I'm strong, some days I'm 
weak,
      C#m         A           E
And days I'm so broken I can barely 
speak,
             C#m       A          
There’s a place in my head where 
     E
my thoughts still roam,
 F#m                     B
Where somehow I've come home.

[Verse 3]
               E    E/G#          
And when the Winter comes and the 
  Asus2    E
trees lie bare,
               E                   
And you just stare out the window 
         B
in the darkness there.
             E    E/G#         
Well I was always late for every 
    Asus2      A/C#
meal you'll swear,
      Asus2   E            
But keep my place and the empty 
Asus2  E
chair,
     Asus2  B       C#m
And somehow I'll be there,
     Asus2    B     Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.
