Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 1]
There's a [G]void in my heart
[Em]I can't seem to fill.
Been [G]a parent, had three children,
And a [Em]big house on the h[G]ill.
Hundred dollar in my pocket,
And [Em]it didn't buy a thing.
Now there's [G]a void in my heart
And a [C]hole in my dreams.
[G]

[Verse 2]
Well, I poured miles of concrete
[Em]And strung wire for telephones,
Dug [G]ditches when I was a young boy;
When [Em]I first left my parents' home.
[G]Sang my songs for millions of people;
Sang [Em]good and bad news.
Now there's [G]a void in my heart
And [C]a fire at my fuse.
[G]

[Verse 3]
Well, I did everything just like they said
[D]So [Em]I could find happiness.
[G]Went to school and got a college degree,
And at [Em]my job I did my [G]best.
As I sit here alone, tonight,
I see a bil[Em]lion just like me,
[G]With a void in their hearts and run[C]ning from eternity.
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][D]
[Am][F][D][G]
[Em][G][Em]

[Verse 4]
There's [G]a void in my heart
[Em]I can't seem to fill.
I do [G]charity work when I
believe in the cause,
But in [Em]my soul it bothers [G]me still.
Hey, Lord, well, you made me like I am;
Can you [Em]heal this restlessness?
Will there be [G]a void in my heart
When [C]they carry me out to rest?

[Outro 1]
[G]
