Like A Stone

[Verse 1]

Em          D              B7           C
On a cobweb afternoon in a room full of emptiness
     Em         D            B7           C
By a freeway, I confess I was lost in the page
Em                D       B7                C
Of a book full of death, reading how we'll die alone
    Em             D                 B7                  C
And if we're good, we'll lay to rest anywhere we want to go


[Chorus]

Em      G       D       Em
In your house I long to be
Em      G    D       Em
Room by room patiently
     C        Em        D      Em
I'll wait for you there like a stone
  C             Em      B7
I'll wait for you there alone

[Verse 2]

Em                 D              B7               C
And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels
      Em        D          B7              C
To the pagan of anyone who will take me to heaven
Em         D         B7             C
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago

Em                   D                  B7                   C
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on


[Chorus]

Em      G       D       Em
In your house I long to be
Em      G    D       Em
Room by room patiently
     C            Em    D      Em
I'll wait for you there like a stone
     C            Em    B7     B7
I'll wait for you there alone, alone

[Bridge]

C        G      B7              C
And on I read until the day was gone
      Cm     A7         B7       Em
And I sat in regret for all the things I've done
C               G              B7            C
For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged
Cm              A7              B7
In dreams until my death I will wander on


[Chorus]

Em      G       D       Em
In your house I long to be
Em      G    D       Em
Room by room patiently
     C            Em    D      Em
I'll wait for you there like a stone
     C           Em     B7     B7
I'll wait for you there alone, alone
