Chris Sligh - Empty Me
Tabbed by: Jeff Ruhnow

This tab is pretty close, there is so much blending in the song, that it is hard to hear
a lot of the exact harmonies, so I think there are probably a few chord variations I am
missing that hold the thing together, the solos are pretty close, they should at least
give you an idea of where you should be and what you should be playing. Enjoy!

I’ve had just enough of the spotlight, when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood
D
And I’ve tasted my share of the sweet life, and the wild ride
Dsus2 Asus4 A
And found a little is not quite enough
Dsus2
I know how I can stray
Dsus2
And how fast my heart could change
D
Empty me
G
Of the selfishness inside
Bm A G
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
D G
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Bm A G
Lord empty me so I can be filled with you
