Empty Hearts by Josh Ritter


Capo I

Intro: D - D - Em - G (x2)

D                   A
So save all of your light
               Bm             F#m
For those who can't sleep at night
         G         D            A
And who can't even sing to their shadows
        D          A
Oh they ride into town
           Bm             F#m
And they throw the shots down
          G            D            A
And they save the last round for the windows

         G                    D                  A
Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
A             G
With an empty heart
 G                     D                  A
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/josh_ritter/empty_hearts_crd.html ]
      D             A
I'm inside with my friends
          Bm         F#m
We build fires and pretend
          G               D      A
That the night could just bend on forever
D                   A
While outside in the frost
         Bm             F#m
Are the wolves and the lost
       G           D         A
And we sing to the dogs or whoever

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


(Bridge) Bm - F#m - Bm - F#m - G - D - A (x2)

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

        G                      D                 A
Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
A                G
With an empty heart
       G               D                 A
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart.
