[Verse 1]
[Am]He was sitting in the corn[E]er[Am]
At a table all [E]alone[F]
A candle burnin' in the dark[C]ness
[F]His glass of wine was alm[E]ost gone

[Verse 2]
[Am]And something about
him felt famili[E]ar[Am]
And it made me stop [E]an d stare
[F]The way he held his hands[C]
before [F]him
Looked like he was lost [E]in prayer[Am]

[Verse 3]
Hey son, what [E]are
you lookin' [Am]at?
Why do your eyes look so [E]sad?
[F]There's somethin' in the way
[C]he [F]sat there
It made me think about [E]my dad

[Verse 4]
[Dm]I'm lookin' for the answer[G][Dm]
Just like [G]everyone
[Dm]I know that there's no ending[G]
To the [Dm]love between a father
and the son
[E]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
Hey son, [E]why don't you pull up one of those
empty [Am]chairs?
Bring it over here by my [E]side[F]
Buy me a glass [C]of wine
This looks like [F]a real good
place to hide
[E]

[Verse 6]
[Am]
You know I've always been a fisherman
[E]Fis[Am]hin' for souls along the way[E]
[F]You kind of remind me of my only son
[C]And [F]I lost him 33 years ago tod[E]ay

[Verse 7]
[Dm]I'm lookin' for the answer[G][Dm]
Just like every[Am]one
[G]I k[Dm]now that there's no ending[G]
To the [Dm]love between a father
and the son
[E]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
There's somethin' I must
give [E]you[Am]
The compass that my father [E]made
[F]It'll point you in the right dir[C]ection
[F]In case you ever lose
[E]your [Am]way

[Verse 9]
You know I've [E]got somethin'
here in my [Am]pocket
This is little silver [E]cross[F]
I think my son would want
you to have [C]it[F]
When you think all the hope [E]is lost

[Verse 10]
[Dm]We're lookin' for the answer[G][Dm]
Just like everyone
[G]We [Dm]know that there's no ending[G]
To the [Dm]love between a father and the [E]son

[Verse 11]
[Am]I left him sitting at his tabl[E]e[Am]
But I didn't feel [E]alone[F]
For a moment I [C]could see [F]the light
Oh, [G]we were [Am]almost [F]home
For a moment [C]I could see t[F]he light
[G]Oh, we were almost home
[Am]
