Chords with lyrics

Intro:
Esus4Esus4 E MajorE


Verse 1:
       E MajorE    E/G#      Asus2Asus2 E MajorE
If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see,
        E MajorE              BB
And there's a place at the table that you saved for me.
      E MajorE   E/G#    Asus2Asus2  A/C#A/C#
So many thousand miles over land and sea,
  Asus2Asus2  E MajorE       Asus2Asus2   E MajorE
I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer,
    Asus2Asus2 BB   Esus4Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.

Verse 2:
       E MajorE    E/G#     Asus2Asus2   E MajorE
It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay,
        E MajorE              BB
And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay.
         E MajorE   E/G#      Asus2Asus2 A/C#A/C#
But there's a shaft of light where I count my days,
  Asus2Asus2  E MajorE     Asus2Asus2  E MajorE
So don't despair of the empty chair,
    Asus2Asus2 BB   Esus4Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.

Bridge:
   C# minorC#m    A augmentedA      E MajorE
Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak,
   C# minorC#m     A augmentedA      E MajorE
And days I'm so broken I can barely speak,
       C# minorC#m    A augmentedA        E MajorE
There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam,
 F# minorF#m           BB
Where somehow I've come home.

Verse 3:
        E MajorE  E/G#      Asus2Asus2  E MajorE
And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare,
        E MajorE              BB
And you just stare out the window in the darkness there.
       E MajorE  E/G#       Asus2Asus2   A/C#A/C#
Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear,
   Asus2Asus2  E MajorE      Asus2Asus2 E MajorE
But keep my place and the empty chair,
   Asus2Asus2 BB    C# minorC#m
And somehow I'll be there,
   Asus2Asus2  BB   Esus4Esus4
And somehow I'll be there.
