Empty Hearts

Josh Ritter

 CDm7F
 CG
So save all of your light 
 AmEm
For those who can't sleep at night 
 FCG
And who can't even sing to their shadows
 CG
Oh they ride into town 
 AmEm
And they throw the shots down 
 FCG
And they save the last round for the windows

 FCGF
Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart, with an empty heart
 FCG
 Don't let me into this year with an empty heart

I'm inside with my friends
We build fires and pretend
That the night could just bend on forever
While outside in the frost
Are the wolves and the lost
And we sing to the dogs or whoever

Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
With an empty heart
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart

There's a friend that I have
And for her I'll go back
You see all of these empties that I'm holding
They're too much for a man
Empty arms, empty hands
And she'll know me by the sound of my hoping

(ending varies from the chorus, as follows)
 CDm7F
 Don't let me into this year with an empty heart, with an empty heart 
 CDm7F
 Don't let me into this year with an empty heart   

Repeat ending multiple times, and end on C
