Version 1
            [Intro]
Am   G   Em7   F
Am   G   Em7   F
[Verse 1]
     Am        G
On a cobwebbed afternoon
    Em7           F
In a room full of emptiness
     Am      G
By a freeway I confess
   Em7            F
I was lost in the pages
Am        G
Of a book full of death
Em7               F
Reading how we'll die alone
    Am                  G
And if we're good we'll lay to rest
Em7         F
Anywhere we want to go
[Chorus]
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  E7
Alone
[Interlude]
Am   G   Em7   F
[Verse 2]
          Am       
And on my deathbed
G
I will pray
    Em7             F
To the gods and the angels
       Am       G
Like a pagan to anyone
      Em7           F
Who will take me to heaven
Am         G
To a place I recall
Em7            F
I was there so long ago
    Am                   
The sky was bruised
    G
The wine was bled
    Em7              F
And there you led me on
[Chorus]
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  E7      E  E7
Aloooone, aloooone
[Instrumental]
Am   C   G   Am
Am   C   G   Am
F    Am  G   Am
F    Am  E   E7
[Bridge]
    F    C
And on I read
  E7              F
Until the day was gone
      Fm     D7
And I sat in regret
   E                  Am
Of all the things I've done
    F            C
For all that I've blessed
    E7            F
And all that I've wronged
   Fm              D7
In dreams until my death
       E
I will wander on
[Chorus]
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  E7     E  E7  F
Aloooone, aloooooooone
