_ I swept up the garbage, [Dm] the cups and the wrappers
_ [G] The theater was [Dm] empty, the crowd had [Bm] gone home
[C] A circle of dust [Dm] in the light from the rafters
[G] The wooden broom handle, [Dm] the microphone
[G] _ _
[Am] And I sang to the dark [F] rose, all velvet and empty
[Dm] The curtain _ majestic [F] in folds [G] to the floor
[Dm] I sang so the angels [Am] would never forget [F] me
The rush of their _ robes as [E] they rose [C]
up
_ And _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
the night circled in [Dm] like a dog in the alley
[G] All _ matted and skinny [F] and face [C] full of hurt
And the theater still ringing [Dm] with lost dreams of glory
[F] [G] The _ echoing voices [Dm] of some [Em] brighter world
[A] And I sang [Am] _ _
[F] mezzanine, the cold plated _ ceiling
[Dm] The orchestra _ spinning, [F] the bright [G] _
_ [Dm] chandelier
I sang so the angels [A] could feel what I'm [F] feeling
And empty so deep [Ab] I'm afraid [C] I'm not here _

[C] And the last note had lingered, [Dm] the dust settled round me
[G] A silence so heavy [F] it cut to the [G]
[C] bone
And deep in the shadows [Dm] the rustle of clapping
[F] _ [G] I rushed to the back [F] row still holding [C] the broom
[Am] And a man _ wrapped [F] in all haggard and dirty
[Dm] A bag of [F] belongings and tears [C] in his eyes
[Dm] I'll never forget this, [A] he said as he left me
_ [F] I needed to hear someone [Ab]
singing [C] _ tonight _ _

[C] I swept up the garbage, _ [Dm] the cups and the wrappers
[F] _ [G] The theater was empty, [Dm] the crowd had [C] gone home
