Sting – The Empty Chair (Guitar)

             E       E/G#            Asus2  E
If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see,

                E                           B
And there's a place at the table that you saved for me.

           E      E/G#       Asus2   A/C#
So many thousand miles over land and sea,

   Asus2   E              Asus2     E
I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer,

       Asus2  B     Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.

             E       E/G#          Asus2      E
It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay,

                E                            B
And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay.

                 E      E/G#           Asus2  A/C#
But there's a shaft of light where I count my days,

    Asus2    E          Asus2   E
So don't despair of the empty chair,

       Asus2  B      Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.

      C#m        A           E
Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak, 

      C#m         A           E
And days I'm so broken I can barely speak,

             C#m       A               E
There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam,

 F#m                     B
Where somehow I've come home.

               E    E/G#            Asus2    E
And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare,

               E                            B
And you just stare out the window in the darkness there.

             E    E/G#             Asus2      A/C#
Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear,

      Asus2   E            Asus2  E
But keep my place and the empty chair,

     Asus2  B       C#m
And somehow I'll be there,

     Asus2    B     Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.
