Repeat
E7 A
So you call home for Christmas
C#9 A
It's for certain that they'll cross you off the list
E A
And you can't go home and you won't stay here
C#9 A
You're refusing to believe a single word they hear
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#
Because after all when you break down
And your back's to the wall
C#
You're a crisis with a backbeat
A Em B E7
And the sofa and a loveseat And said
[Chorus]
F# C# A B2
Now and then we miss you mostly
F# C# A B2
There's an empty chair-air guard it closely
F#2 C#9 A Em
You're so fa----ar gone, (fa----ar gone) you're so unable
F#2 C#9 A5 B
It's been so----o long, (so----o long) since you set the table
F# B2 A A5 E 7
Don't set a place for me, don't set a place for me tonight

[Verse]
E7 A
So we head for the coastline, let's leave tonight
C# D
For the summer and sunshine, and everything's gonna be alright
E A
This place is a ghost town, and the coast is clear
C# D A
In a place like this, a ghost like me might find a way to disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#
Because after all when you break down
And your back's to the wall
C#
You're a crisis with a backbeat
A Em B E7
And the sofa and a loveseat And said
[Chorus]
F# C# A B2
Now and then we miss you mostly
F# C# A B2
There's an empty chair-air guard it closely
F#2 C#9 A Em
You're so fa----ar gone, (fa----ar gone) you're so unable
F#2 C#9 A B
It's been so----o long, (so----o long) since you clear the table
F# B2 A A5 E
Raise a glass for me, did you raise a glass for me tonight
[Bridge]
E A
Here's to friends and family
E
Here's to feelings you can't fight
F# A
Here's to comfort that you find
E F#
Here's to sleeping through the night
C# A
I'll find my way
B7 p.m.
It's the best that I can say
B7 strum
It's the best that I can say,
F# C# A B2
Now and then we miss you mostly
F# C# A B2
There's an empty chair-air guard it closely
F#29 C#9 A Em
You're so fa----ar gone, (fa----ar gone) you're so unable
F#29 C#9 A B
It's been so----o long, (so----o long) so to friends and family
F# B2 A A5 E
Could you say a prayer for me? Could you say a prayer for me?
