Empty Hearts


-Empty Hearts- -Josh Ritter- -------------- Capo 3 C Dm7 F C G So save all of your light Am Em For those who can't sleep at night F C G And who can't even sing to their shadows C G Oh they ride into town Am Em And they throw the shots down F C G And they save the last round for the windows F C G F Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart, with an empty heart F C G 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) C Dm7 F Don't let me into this year with an empty heart, with an empty heart C Dm7 F Don't let me into this year with an empty heart Repeat ending multiple times, and end on C
