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

[chorus]
[Am]In your [C]house I [G]long to [Am]be. [A]
[Am]Room by [C]room [G]patiently. [Am]
I’ll [F]wait for you [Am]there.
[G]Like a [Am]stone I’ll [F]wait for you [Am]there.
[E]Alone.

[verse 2]
[Am] [G] [Em] [F]
On my [Am]deathbed [G]I will pray, to [Em]the gods and the [F]angels.
To the [Am]pagans [G]or anyone, who [Em]will take me to [F]heaven.
[Am]To a place [G]I recall, [Em]I was there so [F]long ago.
The [Am]sky was bruised, the [G]wine was bled.
And [Em]there you led me [F]on.

[chorus]
[Am]In your [C]house I [G]long to [Am]be. [A]
[Am]Room by [C]room [G]patiently. [Am]
I’ll [F]wait for you [Am]there.
[G]Like a [Am]stone I’ll [F]wait for you [Am]there.
[E]Alone, alone…

[Closing]
And [F]on I [C]read, [E]until the day was [F]gone.
And I [Fm]sat in reg[D]ret, for [E]all the things I’ve [Am]done.
[F]For all that I’ve [C]blessed, and [E]all that I’ve [F]wronged.
In [Fm]dreams until my [D]death, I will [E]wander on.

[chorus]
[Am]In your [C]house I [G]long to [Am]be. [A]
[Am]Room by [C]room [G]patiently. [Am]
I’ll [F]wait for you [Am]there.
[G]Like a [Am]stone I’ll [F]wait for you [Am]there.
[E]Alone, alone. [F]
