Empty Hand

C
I don't have the reflection,

Of anybody checking their face,
                        C/B   Am
In the shade of my glasses,

One way ticket on the fast train,
        F            G
And I'm solo all the way.

C
I could maybe read a novel,

To push away the trouble,
                              C/B   Am
That sits in the pit of my tummy,

But I know that it will find me,
       F               G
When I finish the last page.

F                        C
An empty hand I wave goodbye,
F                     G
I feel a tickle in my eye.

        C                Am
No I'll never, sever any tie,
             F
Tired of the journey,
                G
No hand held in mine,
        C                Am
No I'll never, sever any tie,
             F
Tired of the journey,
                G
No hand held in mine.

C
Well I always feel it more,

On a day when there's a storm,
                                     C/B   Am
Or a raincloud, so dangerous and lonely,

No one ever told me,
         F              G
That the darkness is my foe.

C
And I'm looking out the window,

And losing both my dimples,
                             C/B   Am
They enter the ends of my smile,

'Cause I am a thousand miles,
         F               G
From the place I need to go.

F                        C
An empty hand I wave goodbye,
F                     G
I feel a tickle in my eye.

        C                Am
No I'll never, sever any tie,
             F
Tired of the journey,
                G
No hand held in mine,
        C                Am
No I'll never, sever any tie,
             F
Tired of the journey,
                G
No hand held in mine.
