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

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone
Am G Em F
And on my deathbed I will pray to the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall, I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on
Am C G Am
F Am G Am

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

And on I read until the day was gone
And I sat in regret of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed, and all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death I will wander on
Am C G Am
F Am G Am
F Am E
In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there like a stone
I'll wait for you there alone
