(Filled with emptiness). Verse 1: Dm Gm Dm You took the dream I had for us; turned my dreams into dust. Dm Gm Dm I watch the phone; never rings, I watch the door that never rings. Dm Gm Dm Bring you back into my life; turn this darkness into light. Dm Gm Dm I'm all a-lone in this house, turn this house into a home. Bridge 1: Bb6 Bb F A7 I need your touch to comfort me, Bb6 Bb F A7 The tender, tender arms, that once held me.

Verse 2: Dm Gm Dm Don't make me live from day to day, watching the clock that ticks a-way. Dm Gm Dm Another day, another way, another reason for me to stay. Dm Gm Dm I need you here, here with me, I need you darling, desperate-ly. Dm Gm Dm I'm all alone, all alone, in this house that's not a home. Bridge 2: Bb6 Bb F A7 I miss your love, I once had known. Bb6 Bb F A7 I miss your kiss, that was my very, very own. Chorus 3: Am F Empty silence, sur-rounding me, (Seven... rooms), Em7 Lonely walls, they stare at me. (Filled... with gloom). Abmaj7 C# F I live with emptiness, without your tenderness. (Filled with emptiness). Verse 3: Dm Gm Dm All the windows are painted black, and wait right here, until you come back. Dm Gm Dm I'll keep waiting, waiting, until your face, again I see.
