Verse 1

Em                                          D             C

Well I’ve been called a thing or two
Em                                          D             C
But when you said my name I knew
                    G – D6                    C
That it was over – from the way you said my name
                   G – D6                       C
That it was over – for me and you

Chorus

                C                             D             G – D/F# - Em

Now I’m sitting here alone in this empty house
B7
Waiting for the lights to go out

 

Intro chords: Em - D (x 2)

Verse 2

Well I’ve been hurt a time or two

But when you broke my heart I knew
That it was over – when you broke my heart in two
That it was over – for me and you
Now I’m sitting here alone in this empty house
Waiting for the lights to go out

Electric guitar solo, chords Em - D (x 4)

                G             D6                           C

And the road is long but will it take me back to you?
                G             D6                                           C
And when the fog is gone will you be true?

Now I’m sitting here alone with the devil in my heart

Sitting here alone with the devil in my mind
Sitting here alone with the devil in my hand
Waiting for the lights to go out

End chords: Em - D (x 2)
