Waiting At The Gate

[Intro ]
Em   C   G   D 


 
Em                                C 
  Your coats still hangin by the back door, 
G                               D 
  Dust on the shoes you used to wear, 
Em                             C 
  I set one extra plate on the table, 
G                    D 
  Talk to your empty chair. 
 

 
                   Em 
Im waiting at the gate, 
   Em               Em 
My hearts your only guide, 
                 C 
A lantern in the dark, 
  C               C 
A place for you inside, 
                    G 
Until you find your way, 
   G             G 
My arms are open wide, 
                   D 
Im waiting at the gate, 
                    Em 
Where all our tears have dried.

Em   Cmaj7   G   D 


 
Em                                        C 
  The neighbours changed the whole street faded, 
G                                       D 
  Your chalk marks linger on the garden wall, 
Em                                 C 
  Every night I trace each crooked circle, 
G                           D 
  Praying you still hear me call. 
 

 
                   Em 
Im waiting at the gate, 
   Em               Em 
My hearts your only guide, 
                 C 
A lantern in the dark, 
  C               C 
A place for you inside, 
                    G 
Until you find your way, 
   G             G 
My arms are open wide, 
                   D 
Im waiting at the gate, 
                    Em 
Where all our tears have dried.
