Lyrics

(Gm)There’s an emp ty place

be side me

(Gm)when I’m walk in’ down

the street.

(Eb)That’s the place where you (Ebmaj7)used to walk, the place where (Eb6)you held my hand.

Now I reach and (Gm)all I touch is space,

an emp ty, emp ty place.

Sad ness and tears,

that’s all you left me.

They’re such (Eb6)bad sou ve nirs

of love that once was oh so (Ab)ver y great, the great est (Abaug)love reach in’ all the (Ab6)way to the stars a (G7)bove.

But (Cm)now there’s not a star left in the (Gm)sky

and (Cm)if you don’t come back to me I’ll (D)die.

(Gm)On ly your em brace

can fill this emp ty place.

(Gm)There’s an emp ty place

be side me

(Gm)when I’m walk in’ down

the street.

(Eb)If I don’t fill this (Ebmaj7)emp ti ness, I know that (Eb6)I’ll lose mind.

Now I reach and (Gm)all I touch is space,

an emp ty, emp ty place.

Sad ness and tears,

that’s all you left me.

They’re such (Eb6)bad sou ve nirs

of love that once was oh so (Ab)ver y great, the great est (Abaug)love reach in’ all the (Ab6)way to the stars a (G7)bove.

But (Cm)now there’s not a star left in the (Gm)sky

and (Cm)if you don’t come back to me I’ll (D)die.

(Gm)On ly your em brace

can fill this emp ty place.

(Gm)On ly your em brace

can fill this emp ty place.

(Gm)On ly your em brace

can fill this emp ty place.

About “This Empty Place”

Can I sing "This Empty Place" karaoke-style with the lyrics on screen?
Yes — Karaoke mode puts the lyrics of "This Empty Place" on screen a line at a time and lights up each word in time, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word and the chord shown just above. The piano backing plays underneath in Eb, and you can transpose it to fit your voice.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "This Empty Place" by Dionne Warwick in?
The backing track is in Eb at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "This Empty Place" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "This Empty Place"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "This Empty Place", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "This Empty Place" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "This Empty Place" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Eb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "This Empty Place" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
