[Intro]
Esus4 E
[Verse 1]
If I should cElose my E/G#eyes, that my soAsus2ul can Esee,
And there's a plEace at the table that you saBved for me.
So many thoEusand mE/G#iles over lAsus2and and A/C#sea,
I hAsus2ope to dEare, that you hAsus2ear my praEyer,
And somAsus2ehow I'Bll be Esus4there.
[Verse 2]
It's but a coEncrete fE/G#loor where my Asus2head will lEay,
And though the wEalls of this prison are as coBld as clay.
But there's a shaEft of lE/G#ight where I coAsus2unt my A/C#days,
So dAsus2on't despEair of the Asus2empty chEair,
And somAsus2ehow I'Bll be tEsus4here.
[Bridge]
Some dC#mays I'm strAong, some daEys I'm weak,
And daC#mys I'm so brAoken I can bEarely speak,
There’s a plaC#mce in my hAead where my thoEughts still roam,
WF#mhere somehow I've come hBome.
[Verse 3]
And when the WiEnter E/G#comes and the trAsus2ees lie bEare,
And you just stEare out the window in the darBkness there.
Well I was alEways E/G#late for every meAsus2al you'll sA/C#wear,
But keAsus2ep my plEace and the eAsus2mpty chEair,
And sAsus2omehow BI'll be C#mthere,
And sAsus2omehow I'Bll be Esus4there.
