Verse

E              E7           A            E     E/A
My life was as empty as the bottle by my bed

E                                F#M                B
My friends turned into strangers and I was all but dead

E              E7                  A                E   E/A
Jesus came and found me there that day those demons bled

E                                A            E
when my life was as empty as the bottle by my bed




My first taste of the spirit, it brought me to my knees

I knew that I was helpless, I prayed Lord help me please


    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



each time was the last time, that's what I always said

when my life was as empty as the bottle by my bed



Chorus
      A                                     E
By my bed, everything seemed further out of reach
          A                             
And in my head, oh I found it hard to practice what I 
B        A
preached
    E             E7              A                  E
And now I'm going back home, it's down this path I'm led
E                                B            E
And I'm no longer empty like the bottle by my bed



Sometimes this road gets lonesome and I wish that I could fly

So don't be afraid to stop me when I pass you by

We'll sit and watch the sun go down as the waters turn to red

And if you'd like i could tell you all about the bottle by my bed

Chorus

Thank God that I'm not empty, like the bottle by my bed
