[E]
My life was as empty [A] as the bottle by [E] my bed.
My friends turned into strangers [F#m] and I was all [B] but dead.
[E] Jesus came and found me there [A] that day those demons [E] bled.
When my life was as empty [A] as the bottle by my [E] bed.
My first taste of the spirit [A] it brought me to [E] my knees.
I knew that I was helpless I [F#m] prayed Lord help [B] me please.
[E] Each time was the last time [A] that's what I [E] always said.
When my life was as empty [A] as the bottle by my [E] bed.
By [A] my bed everything seemed further out [E] of reach.
And in [A] my head oh I found it hard to practice what I [B] preached.
But [A]
[E] now I'm going back home [A] it's down this path [E] I'm led.
And I'm no longer empty [B] like the bottle [E] by my bed.

Sometimes this road gets lonesome [A] and I wish that I [E] could fly.
So don't be afraid to stop me [F#m] when I pass [B] you by.
[E] We'll sit and watch the sun go down [A] as the waters turn [E] to red.
And if you'd like I could tell you all [A] about the bottle by [E] my bed.
