[Verse]
D Em
I don't like people staring at me like I'm a roadside wreck
C G
I don't wanna have to explain to the ones who rubberneck

I don't like that the mail with his name is still delivered here
C
I don't like where he used to be, is now an empty chair
[Verse]

My boy said, "I don't wanna sit down to dinner, it makes my stomach ache
C G
I don't like he don't tuck me in, I don't want a birthday cake"
D Em
When we both sit down to dinner, the ache is everywhere
C
I don't like, where he used to be, is now an empty chair
[Chorus]
D Em C D
And I close my eyes and it hurts the same
Em C
When you least expect, everything can change

Everything can change

I don't wanna keep a chin up and keep wondering "what if?"
C G
There are things you cannot get over, you just learn to carry it

I just want where he used to be, to not be an empty chair
[Chorus]

And I close my eyes and it hurts the same

Everything can change

There's an empty chair in the kitchen
D Am
There's a quiet in the house

There's a cold side to the bed
G D
And so I sleep downstairs
Am G C Am G/B C G
I don't want this empty chair
