EMPTY - Del Amitri
Intro
Dm - C - G - F -
Dm - C - G - A7
Dm Don't get so dis - C tressed
If the G good life won't ar - F rive
Dm You've been seeing C S.O.S.
When it's F just your clock reading G 5:05
Dm - C - G - A7
And Dm why are you so pos - C sessed
By the G thought that she got F free
And Dm why are you figuring C who's the best
When just your F luck ran out and G she chose me
Chorus:
A7 We do not lie side by side
and Gmaj7 mock the thought of you
And A I don't take her hand and ask
Is Gmaj7 this what he used to do
'Cos A I just want to free her from
Your G jails of jealous dreams
Dm7 /
'Cos at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
F / Dm C - G -
Stays clean
F Sta - Dm ys cle - C an G
-
A7Dm And I won't pre - C tend
That G I was simply F swayed
It was a Dm two way thing
Not a C three day fling
No F secrets kept, no G truth betrayed
And Dm here's the house that C held
The G nightmare that went F on
And Dm you're sitting there wishing you'd C never been born
With that F self-inflicted G crown of thorns
Chorus:
A7 We do not lie side by side
and Gmaj7 mock the thought of you
And A I don't take her hand and ask
Is Gmaj7 this what he used to do
'Cos A I just want to free her from
Your G jails of jealous dreams
Dm7 /
'Cos at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
F / Dm
Stays clean
Break:
And F I C won't pre - G tend
That I'm the F saviour of the
C innocent and G bad
But put two F withered old C blooms
in a G couple of rooms
And they'll be - F have like
C lunatics
and G crave what makes them Dm sad
C - G - F -
Dm - C - G - A7
Dm - C - G - F -
Dm - C - G - A7
So Dm here's a card that C says
Happy G twenty-second birthday and I F wish you were dead
And Dm here's a house that C held
a F bevy of devils and an G angel as well
Dm And you want what C I've got
When G all I've got is F guilt
And a Dm room that won't stay sti- C ll
Filled with pockets full of F crumpled up money and
a G mantelpiece littered with bills
Outro:

'Cos at least
Dm7/C / Gi /

Yeah at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
Dm7 /
Yeah at least
Dm7/C / Gi /
a house when it's empty
is Dm clean//
