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 my 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.
