(D)Home is (Em)an (D)emp ty dream, (Bm)lost

to (G)the (D)night.

(D)Fa (Em)ther, I (D)feel so a (A)lone.

You prom ised you’d be there when ev er I need ed you.

When ev er I call your name, you’re not an y where.

I’m try ing to hold on, just wait ing to hear your voice.

One word, just a word will do to end this night mare.

(D)When will the dawn ing break, (Bm)oh, (D)end (G)less (D)night?

(Em7)Sleep less, I (D)dream (Em)of (D)the (A)day

(D)when you were by my side (Bm)guid

(G)ing my (D)path.

(D)Fa (Em)ther, I (D)can’t (Em)find (D)the (A)way.

You prom ised you’d be there when ev er I need ed you.

When ev er I call your name, you’re not an y where.

I’m try ing to hold on, just wait ing to hear your voice.

One word, just one word will do to end this night mare.

I know that this night must end and that the (F#m)sun will rise, and that the (F#m)sun will (D)rise.

I know that the clouds must clear and that the (F#m)sun will shine, and that the (F#m)sun will (D)shine.

I know that this night will end and that the (A)sun will (Bm)rise, and the the (A)sun will (D)rise.

I know that the clouds must clear and that the (A)sun will (Bm)shine, and that the (A)sun will (D)shine.

I know that this night will end and that the (A)sun will (Bm)rise, and the the (A)sun will (D)rise.

I know that the clouds must clear and that the (A)sun will (Bm)shine, and that the (A)sun will (D)shine.

and that the (A)sun (Bm)will rise.
