The Empty Chair chords by Sting

Intro:
Esus4 E


Verse 1:
       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.

Verse 2:
       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.

Bridge:
   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.

Verse 3:
        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.
