  			Intro : D Em D* D 

               Em D* D                       Em D* D 
Called her name      but the wind blew strong 

                 Em D* D                     Em D* D 
I called in vain       though I tried so long 

              Em D* D                Em D* D 
Called the sea      to bring her home 

                      Em D* D 
But the sea don't hear      and I'm still alone 

A*                    Bm* 
I feel an emptiness inside 

A*                          Bm* 
Something within me I can't hide 


Em D* D            Em D* D 
      Standing here      looking at the sky, 

Em D* D                  Em D* D 
      But the light I see      can't tell me why 

A*                    Bm* 
I feel an emptiness inside 

A*                          Bm* 
Something within me I can't hide. 


Bridge : Bm A 

A                   Bm 
Everytime I stop to think that's the time I get lonely 

A                            Bm 
That's the time it hurts the most everytime I get lonely. 



Em D* D              Em D* D 
      What went wrong      who am I to blame 

Em D* D                  Em D* D 
      Did I take too long,     to call her name 

A*                    Bm* 
I feel an emptiness inside 
  
A*                          Bm*          
Something within me I can't hide. 



               Em D* D                       Em D* D 
Called her name      but the wind blew strong 

                 Em D* D                     Em D* D 
I called in vain       though I tried so long 

              Em D* D                Em D* D 
Called the sea      to bring her home 

                      Em D* D 
But the sea don't hear      and I'm still alone 


Em D* D
