EMPTY ME

(Chris Sligh)

INTRO:      D      G      (2x)

     Bm                                          G

  VERSE 1:  I've had just enough of the spotlight, when it burns bright

   D                                       A

 To see how it gets in the blood

  Bm                                              G

And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride,

  D                                A

And found a little is not quite enough.

                   G             Bm

PRECHORUS: I know how I can stray

                                   G                             A

                   And how fast my heart could change.

                D                G

CHORUS: Empty me, of the selfishness inside

               Bm     A                      G

Every vain ambition, and the poison of my pride

                     D                         G

And any foolish thing my heart holds to.

                                        Bm    A                  G                      D

Lord empty me of me...   So I can be filled with you(Intro)1x

               Bm                                              G

VERSE 2:I've seen just enough of the quick buys, of the best lies

               D                                          A

To know how prodigals could be drawn away. (Prechorus, Chorus )

                            Bm                      A                                                 G

BRIDGE:'Cause everything is a lesser thing compared to you, compared to you

                           Bm                        A

'Cause everything is a lesser thing compared to you

                                      G

                 So I surrender all...

SOLO:      D      G     Bm    G

                            D                 G 

Coda:     Empty me, of the selfishness inside

                 Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride 

 (Chorus except last line)

                                      Bm    A                                         G

                 Lord empty me of me...   So I can be filled with you (repeat 2x)

 End:     D      G      D      G

                      Empty Me...
