[Ab]
[Eb] If I should close my eyes, [Ab] that my soul [Eb] can't see
And there's a place at the table that you're safe [Bb] for me
So [Eb] many thousand miles, [Ab] o'er land [Cm] and sea
[Ab] I hope [Eb] today, [Ab] that you hear [Eb] my prayer
And [Ab] somehow, [Bb] I'll be [Eb] there
It's but a concrete floor, [Ab] where my head will [Eb] lay
And though the walls of this prison are as [Gm] cold as [Bb] clay
[Eb] But there's a shaft of light, [Ab] where I count my [Cm] days
[Ab] So don't [Eb] despair, [Ab] of the empty [Eb] chair
And [Ab] somehow, [Bb] I'll [Cm] be there
Some [Ab] days I'm [Bb] strong, [Eb] some days I'm weak
And [Ab] days when I'm [Bb] broken, I can [Dm] barely speak
[Cm] That [Ab] place in [Bb] my head, where [Cm] my thoughts still roam
[Fm] And somehow, I've [C] come home
[Bb] And when [Eb] the winter comes, [Ab] and the trees [Eb] lie bare
And you just stare out the window, [Bb] in the darkness there
[Eb] Well I was always late, for [Ab] every meal [Cm] you'll swear
Would
[Ab] keep my [Eb] place, [Ab] on the empty [Eb] chair
And [Ab] somehow, [Bb] I'll [Cm] be there
And
[Ab] somehow, [Bb]
I'll be [Ab] there
