(Gm) (F)
On a cold wet afternoon
(Dm7) (Eb)
In a room full of emptiness
(Gm) (F)
by a freeway I confess
(Dm7) (Eb)
I was lost in the pages
(Gm) (F)
of a book full of death
(Dm7) (Eb)
Reading how we'll die alone
(Gm) (F)
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
(Dm7) (Eb)
anywhere we want to go
Chorus:
(Gm) (Bb) (F) (Gm)
In your house I long to be
(Gm) (Bb) (F) (Gm)
Room by room patiently
(Eb) (Gm) (F) (Gm)
I'll wait for you there like a stone
(Eb) (Gm) (D)
I'll wait for you there Alone
(Gm) (F)
And on my deathbed I will pray to
(Dm7) (Eb)
the gods and the angels
(Gm) (F)
Like a pagan to anyone who
(Dm7) (Eb)
will take me to heaven
(Gm) (F)
To a place I recall
(Dm7) (Eb)
I was there so long ago
(Gm) (F)
The sky was bruised the wine was bled
(Dm7) (Eb)
and there you led me on
Chorus:
(Gm) (Bb) (F) (Gm)
In your house I long to be
(Gm) (Bb) (F) (Gm)
Room by room patiently
(Eb) (Gm) (F) (Gm)
I'll wait for you there like a stone
(Eb) (Gm) (D)
I'll wait for you there Alone Alone
Bridge:
(Eb) (Bb) (F) (Eb)
And on I read until the day was gone
(Ebm) (Cm7) (D) (Gm)
And I sat in regret for all the things I've done
(Eb) (Bb) (F) (Eb)
For all that I've blessed and all that I've wronged
(Ebm) (Cm7) (D)
In dreams until my death I will wander on
Chorus:
(Gm) (Bb) (F) (Gm)
In your house I long to be
(Gm) (Bb) (F) (Gm)
Room by room patiently
(Eb) (Gm) (F) (Gm)
I'll wait for you there like a stone
(Eb) (Gm) (D)
I'll wait for you there Alone Alone
