[Intro]
Bb  D  G  F
 
[Verse 1]
Bb     D
Woke up to find
G       F
 I lost my mind
Bb          D
Lost heart, lost nerve
Gm        F
I lost my favourite word -
Bb D
Emily
 
[Verse 2]
Bb
I take my cigarettes
D              Gm
I give 'em a smoke
Gm
Oh god
   F
My heart feels froze
Bb            D
I've lost something it seems
Gm                  F
I've misplaced my favourite thing -
Bb
Emily
 
[Bridge]
Eb         D
Where does love go
      Gm           Eb
If it can't find a home
           D
One moment here then gone
        Gm           F
With no forwarding address
F
Love no longer has a house
              Eb  G
Or residence in flesh
 
[Verse 3]
Bb
Take the keys
D
I get in the car
       Gm
To out run this
        F
Man I'd have to go real far
      Bb
Where mercy wears lace
    D
And bottles are thieves
Gm                  F
Which of these took you from me?
Bb   D  Bb  D
Emily
 
[Verse 4]
Bb
I face myself
            D
But there's this draft inside
Gm
Parts of me drowned
      F
In perpetual tide
  Bb
I wanna call names
        D
I wanna throw things around
       Gm
But no bar can buy
             F
Forgiveness another round for
Bb
Emily
 
[Bridge]
Eb         D
Where does love go
      Gm           Eb
If it can't find a home
           D
One moment here then gone
        Gm           F
With no forwarding address
F
Love no longer has a house
              Eb  G
Or residence in flesh
 
[Verse 5]
  Bb
I go to the bedroom
D
Turn on the light
     Gm
It's like an empty altar
   F
No angel in sight
  Bb
Religion with no temple
   D
No place to take my worship to
   Gm
No god for my eyes to see
   F
No fruit to lay at the feet of
Bb
Emily
