Like a Stone

     Gm     A#
On a cobweb, afternoon in a room
F       Gm
full of emptiness
       Gm    A#
By a freeway I confess
  F        Gm
I was lost in the pages
Gm         A#
Of a book, full of death
F                 Gm
Reading how we'll die alone
    Gm                   A#
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
F           Gm
Anywhere we want to go
Gm      A#      F       Gm
In your house I long to be
Gm      A#   F       Gm
Room by room patiently
     D#           Gm
I'll wait for you there
F        Gm
Like a stone
     D#           Gm
I'll wait for you there
D       D
Alone
       Gm       A#
On my deathbed, I will pray 
   F                Gm
To the gods and the angels
        Gm      A#  
Like a pagan to anyone
F                   Gm
Who will take me to heaven
      Gm    A#
To a place, I recall
F                   Gm
I was there so long ago
    Gm        A#
The sky was bruised
    F
The wine was bled
    Gm
And there you led me on
Gm      A#      F       Gm
In your house I long to be
Gm      A#   F       Gm
Room by room patiently
     D#           Gm
I'll wait for you there
F        Gm
Like a stone
     D#           Gm
I'll wait for you there
D       D7
Alone   Alone

D#             A#
And on I read
D7                 D# 
Until the day was gone
      D#m          C7
And I sat in regret
   D7                   Gm
Of all the things I've done
    D#              A#
For all that I've blessed
    D7              D#
And all that I've wronged
    D#m             C7
In dreams until my death
        D7     D7
I will wander on
Gm      A#      F       Gm
In your house I long to be
Gm      A#   F       Gm
Room by room patiently
     D#           Gm
I'll wait for you there
F        Gm
Like a stone
     D#           Gm
I'll wait for you there
D       D7
Alone   Alone
