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
