Intro: / Em - - - / D - - - / Bm7 - - - / C - - - / x2
Em D
On a cobwebbed afternoon
Bm7 C
In a room full of emptiness
Em D
By a freeway I confess
Bm7 C
I was lost in the pages
Em D
Of a book full of death
Bm7 C
Reading how we'll die alone
Em D
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Bm7 C
Anywhere we want to go
Chorus:
Em G D Em
In your house I long to be
Em G D Em
Room by room patiently
C Em D Em
I'll wait for you there like a stone
C Em B7 (2)
I'll wait for you there Alone
/ Em - - - / D - - - / Bm7 - - - / C - - - /
Em D
And on my deathbed I will pray
Bm7 C
To the gods and the angels
Em D
Like a pagan to anyone
Bm7 C
Who will take me to heaven
Em D
To a place I recall
Bm7 C
I was there so long ago
Em D
The sky was bruised The wine was bled
Bm7 C
And there you led me on
Chorus 2:
Em G D Em
In your house I long to be
Em G D Em
Room by room patiently
C Em D Em
I'll wait for you there like a stone
C Em B7 (4)
I'll wait for you there Alone

Bridge:
C G
And on I read
B7 C
Until the day was gone
Cm A7
And I sat in regret
B7 Em
Of all the things I've done
C G
For all that I've blessed
B7 C
And all that I've wronged
Cm A7
In dreams until my death
B7 (2)
I will wander on
Chorus 2:
Em G D Em
In your house I long to be
Em G D Em
Room by room patiently
C Em D Em
I'll wait for you there like a stone
C Em B7 (4) C (hold)
I'll wait for you there Alone Alone

A great song for Chris Cornell fans who want to play something chill, or who aren't quite ready for "Spoonman," etc.
