E              B
Something has left my life
       A
and i don't know where it went to (oh oh ooh)

E         B
Somebody caused me strife
          A
and it's not what i was seeking
            E                  B
Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me
            A                           E
Didn't you see me standing there (oh oh ooh)

                 B
Why did you turn of the lights
          A
Did you know that i was sleeping?

Am      C             G
Say a prayer for me (eeeh)
            Em
Help me to feel the strenght i did

Am   C                   G
My identity has it been taken
             Em             Am            C
is my heart breaking on me (eeh) all my plans
                 G                          Em
fell through my hands, they fell trough my hands

      Am               C
Only he (eeh) all my dreams
             G                  Em
it suddenly seems, it suddenly seems

Chorus:
        Am      C       G       Em
 empty hie hie hie hie hie hie hie hie
        Am      C       G       Em
 empty hie hie hie hie hie hie hie hie
