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  
AEverytime I stop to Bmthink that's the time I get lonely
AThat's the time it hurts the Bmmost 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
