Verse 1:
N.C.
On a cobweb afternoon in a room full of emptiness
By a freeway, I confess I was lost in the pages
N.C.
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
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:
N.C.
And on my deathbed, I will pray to the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven
N.C.
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
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
Interlude:
Em G D Em
Em G D Em
C Em D Em
C Em B7 B7
Bridge:
C G B7 C
And on I read, until the day was gone
C G B7 C
And I sat in regret of 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
