[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]I don't like people staring
at me like [D]I'm a roadside wreck
[Em]I don't wanna have to explain
to the [C]ones who rubberneck
[G]I don't like that the mail with
his name [D]is still delivered here
[Em]I don't like where he used
to be is [C]now an empty chair

[Verse 2]
My boy [G]said I don't want
to sit down to dinner
It [D]makes my stomach ache
[Em]I don't like he don't tuck me in I
don't [C]want a birthday cake!
[G]When we both sit down to dinner
[D]the ache is everywhere
[Em]I don't like where he used
to be is [C]now an empty chair

[Verse 3]
And I [D]close [Em]my eyes
[C]And it hurts the same
[D]When you least expec[Em]t
Everything can [C]change

[Verse 4]
Everything can change
[G]I don't want to keep my chin up
and keep [D]wondering what if
[Em]There are things you cannot get over
[C]you just learn to carry [G]it
I don't wanna have to pack up his
[D]things that still are [G]here
[Em]I just want where he used
to be to not [C]be an empty chair

[Verse 5]
And I [D]close my [Em]eyes
[C]And it hurts the same
[D]When you least expec[Em]t
Everything can [C]change

[Verse 6]
Everything can change
[Am]There's an empty chair[C] in the kitchen
[G]there's a quiet in [D]the house
[Am]People say that time[C] will heal
[G]but I have my dou[D]bts
[Am]There's a cold[C] side in the bed
and [G]so I sleep down[D]stairs
I don't [Am]want this [G]empty [C]chair
[Am][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]I don't wanna see the TV
cover [D]one more tragedy
[Em]This is not another hard
luck story [C]it happened to me
[G]People sit around and lie
to themselves
'Til the [D]tale becomes threadbare
[Em]The truth sounds like a gunshot
and it [C]looks like an empty chair

[Verse 8]
And I [D]close [Em]my eyes
[C]And it hurts the same
[D]When you least expec[Em]t
Everything can [C]change

[Verse 9]
And [D]I close [Em]my eyes
And [C]it hurts the same
[D]In a flash of lig[Em]ht
Everything can [C]change
Everything can change
Everything can change
