Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
A
On a cobweb afternoon
E
In a room full of emptiness
F#m
By a freeway I confess
D
I was lost in the pages
A
Of a book full of death
E
Reading how we’ll die alone
F#mD
And if we’re good, we’ll lay to rest
A
Anywhere we want to go
Chorus
E
In your house I long to be
DA
Room by room patiently
I’ll wait for you there
E
Like a stone
I’ll wait for you there
D
Alone
Verse 2
A
And on my deathbed I will pray
E
To the gods and the angels
F#m
Like a pagan to anyone
D
Who will take me to heaven
A
To a place I recall
E
I was there so long ago
F#mD
The sky was bruised, the wine was blown
A
And there were secrets in the sand
Chorus
E
In your house I long to be
DA
Room by room patiently
I’ll wait for you there
E
Like a stone
I’ll wait for you there
D
Alone
Bridge
A
And on I read
E
Until the day was gone
F#m
And I sat in regret
D
Of all the things I’ve done
A
For all that I’ve blessed
E
And all that I’ve wronged
F#m
In dreams until my death
D
I will wander on
Chorus
E
In your house I long to be
DA
Room by room patiently
I’ll wait for you there
E
Like a stone
I’ll wait for you there
D
Alone
