Like A Stone

Intro: Am  G  Em  F  

  
      Am      G  
On a cold wet afternoon  
      Em          F  
In a room full of emptiness  
       Am    G  
By a freeway I confess  
   Em           F  
I was lost in the pages  
Am         G  
Of a book full of death  
 Em                F  
Reading how we'll die alone  
Am                 G  
And if we're good we'll lay to rest  
Em           F  
Anywhere we want to go  

 
Am         C       G       Am  
  In your house I long to be  
 Am      C    G      Am  
Room by room patiently  
      F             Am  
I'll wait for you there  
 G    Am           F             Am  
Like a stone I'll wait for you there  
  E  
Alone  

( Am  G  Em  F )  

  
       Am      G  
On my deathbed I will pray  
     Em              F  
To the gods and the angels  
        Am      G  
Like a pagan to anyone  
     Em              F  
Who will take me to heaven  
 Am        G  
To a place I recall  
Em              F  
I was there so long ago  
      Am  
The sky was bruised  
     G  
The wine was bled  
      Em             F  
And there you led me on  

  
Am         C       G       Am  
  In your house I long to be  
 Am      C    G      Am  
Room by room patiently  
      F             Am  
I'll wait for you there  
 G    Am           F             Am  
Like a stone I'll wait for you there  
  E  
Alone  

  
    F     C  
And on I read  
   E               F  
Until the day was gone  
       Fm        D  
And I sat in regret  
    E               Am  
Of all the things I've done  
    F               C  
For all that I've blessed  
    E               F  
And all that I've wronged  
     Fm             D  
In dreams until my death  
        E  
I will wonder on 

 
Am         C       G       Am  
  In your house I long to be  
 Am      C    G      Am  
Room by room patiently  
      F             Am  
I'll wait for you there  
 G    Am           F             Am  
Like a stone I'll wait for you there  
  E  
Alone
