Empty Bed chords by Mick Ronson

This version was given to me by a
Youtuber called "Christian Lipski" - all credit goes to him.
I simply believe this should be
available to those looking to learn the track
:)


Em       Em7
Wake, reaching for yesterday

C         C7+
Up, washing the sleep away

Am       Bm7     Em
My mind, full of the games you play all the time

Em       Em7
I, roll up a cigarette

C        C7+
Sit down, trying hard to forget

Am       Bm7     Em
Your face, when you turned and left me again

D
It's not a game

  C        G             Em
Seeing your face on the wall, when it's only in a frame

D
It's not the same

   C        G      Em
Sleeping without you at night, not knowing if I will again

C
Magic mirror shines

D
Memories of yesterday

   Em    B7       Em
You wouldn't go and you couldn't
stay

 C
Deceitfully blind

 D
To you wanting your way

Em       B7         Em
Where will you go, where will you
stay

C
Where will you stay

   Em
You wouldn't say

   C
You wouldn't say

  E
You've gone away

A
Can't help feeling sad but then I'm glad you'll realise your
heartaches today

B
I see your eyes

 G       C#m7
Yes the eyes that used to shine
with secret tears you know you
always used to cry

A
I'll wait for tomorrow

E
Yes, I'll wait for tomorrow

A
Haven't I told you

  E
Just want to hold you

A
You know that yesterday

   E     A
You took my smallest part so
carelessly away
Have all your memories gone
suddenly to sleep

 C#m
Your golden head

C#m7
The empty bed

A        E      B        C#m
The empty bed... and now there is
another day

C#m7    F#7
But where are you

  A
  What can I do?

(Em Em7 C C7+ Am Bm7 Em) x2

D
You once said

C        G       Em
Ours is terrestrial love Such a
feeling left along with your case

D
It's such a fight

   C     G       Em
'Cause every window I pass keeps
reflecting visions of your face

C        D
Like a Spider's web weaving meround and round again

G        B7        Em
Will it let go, can I clear my head

C
There's a thousand things

   D     Em      B7        Em
Not only the empty bed Why did you go? was it something I said?

 C
Let me clear my head

Em
Was I misled?

  C
I wish I was dead


  E
You've gone away

A
Can't help feeling sad but then I'm glad you'll realise your
heartaches today

B
I see your eyes

 G#      C#m7
Yes the eyes that used to shine
with secret tears you know you
always used to cry

A
I'll wait for tomorrow

E
Yes, I'll wait for tomorrow

A
Haven't I told you

  E
Just want to hold you

A
You know that yesterday

   E     A
You took my smallest part so
carelessly away
Have all your memories gone
suddenly to sleep

 C#m
Your golden head

C#m7
The empty bed

A        E      B        C#m
The empty bed... and now there is
another day

C#m7    F#7
But where are you

A
  What can I do?

Em       Em7
    My cigarette's gone out

C   C7+
It's late, no one's about

Am
Guess I'll try and

Bm7        Em
Put you right out of my mind?
