A5          G5
On a cobweb afternoon
E5                 F5
In a room full of emptiness
A5           G5
By a freeway I confess
E5                 F5
I was lost in the pages
A5        G5        
Of a book full of death
E5                 F5
Reading how we'll die alone
A5                G5  
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
E5           F5    
Anywhere we want to go

(chorus)
A5      C5     G5         A5  A5
In your house I long to be
A5      C5    G5      A5
Room by room patiently
A5   F5            A5 
I'll wait for you there
G5      A5         F5            A5      
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
E5  E5
Alone

A5    G5     E5       F5

A5
On my deathbed
G5
I will pray
       E5            F5
To the gods and the angels
A5               G5
to the pagans or anyone
E5                   F5
Who will take me to heaven
A5           G5
To a place I recall
E5              F5
I was there so long ago
A5           
The sky was bruised
G5
The wine was bled
E5                 F5
And there you led me on


(chorus)
A5      C5     G5         A5  A5
In your house I long to be
A5      C5    G5      A5
Room by room patiently
A5   F5            A5 
I'll wait for you there
G5      A5         F5            A5      
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
E5     E5        E5
Alone,Alone.......

F5        C5
And on I read
E5                 F5
Until the day was done
      F5     D5      
And I sat in regret
   E5                   A5
Of all the things I've done
F5                 C5
For all that I've blessed
    E5             F5
And all that I've wronged
   F5              D5
In dreams until my death
       E5
I will wander on

chorus 

A5      C5     G5         A5  A5
In your house I long to be
A5      C5    G5      A5
Room by room patiently
A5   F5            A5 
I'll wait for you there
G5      A5         F5            A5      
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
E5     E5        E5       F5
Alone,Alone.......
