[Verse]
GThere's a void in my heart EmI can't seem to fill
GBeen a parent, had three children and a Embig house on the hill
GHundred dollar in my pocket and it Cdidn't buy a thingG  
Now there's a void in my heart and a Chole in my dreaGms
[Verse]
GWell I poured miles of concrete anEmd strung wire for telephones
GDug ditches when I was a young boy when EmI first left my parents' home
GSang my songs for millions of people, sCang good and bad newsG  
Now there's a void in my heart and a Cfire at my fuseG  
[Verse]
GWell I did everything just like they said Emso I could find happiness
GWent to school and got a college degree Emand at my job I did my best
GAs I sit here alone tonight I see Ca billion just like meG  
With a void in their hearts and rCunning from eterniGty

GThere's a void in my heart I Emcan't seem to fill
GI do charity work when I believe in the cause
But in my sEmoul it bothers me still

Can You hCeal this restlessness?G  
Will there be a void in my heart
When they caCrry me out to rest?G
