Intro: Am G Em F
[Verso 1]
Am G
On a cold wet afternoon
Em F
In a room full of emptiness
Am G
By a freeway I confess
Em F
I was lost in the pages
Am G
Of a book full of death
Em F
Reading how we'll die alone
Am G
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Em F
Anywhere we want to go
[Refrão]
Am C G Am
In your house I long to be
Am C G Am
Room by room patiently
F Am
I'll wait for you there
G Am F Am
Like a stone I'll wait for you there

Alone
( Am G Em F )
[Verso 2]
Am G
On my deathbed I will pray
Em F
To the gods and the angels
Am G
Like a pagan to anyone
Em F
Who will take me to heaven
Am G
To a place I recall
Em F
I was there so long ago
Am
The sky was bruised
G
The wine was bled
Em F
And there you led me on
[Refrão]
Am C G Am
In your house I long to be
Am C G Am
Room by room patiently

I'll wait for you there

Like a stone I'll wait for you there

Alone
[Ponte]
F C
And on I read
E F
Until the day was gone
Fm D
And I sat in regret
E Am
Of all the things I've done
F C
For all that I've blessed
E F
And all that I've wronged
Fm D
In dreams until my death
E
I will wonder on
[Refrão]
