I was

twelve and playing video games

when the knock came at the door
G

There was a woman from
A

across the street
A

and staring at the sky,
G
Bm

but she pointed across the way
G
Bm
A
D
I fought my dad over to their door,
G
Bm
He'd follow hanging some
A
D
Christmas lights
G
A
for her kids in the middle of the night
Bm
A
D
so he wouldn't choke on his blood,
G
A
but the man was barely alive
G
Bm
A
D
And they all lifted him to harbor view
G
Bm
A
from the field of my ele mentary school
A
D
G
and pretty soon my neighbor
G
Bm
And it really stuck with me
A
D

the way you can lose something

you love so quick
G

That guy really stepped

up to raise her kids
A

stay empty, stay empty

A
another family came moving in
G

The two parents were mor

bidly obese
G
A
and they were always yelling at their kids
G
Bm
Who ran around the block
A
D
like wild wolves,
G
Bm
A
dirty faces and dirty clothes
G
Bm
And when they wanted them
A
D
home they'd yell,
G
A
get your fucking asses inside
Bm
G
A
D
don't make me find you
G
A
and beat you within an inch of your life
G
Bm
Plates would break,
A
D
doors would slam,
G
Bm
A
and I would wait for it all to end
G
Bm
A
It made it hard to play video games
D
G
when people were beating up
G
Bm
A
D
Once in a while they'd load into the car
A
G
An d all the neighborhood
A
D
kids would laugh
G
Bm
and I just wish they'd drive off
A
G
and never come back
G
Em
G
stay empty, stay empty
G
Em
G
each family's, each family's
G
Em
G
stay empty, stay empty
eats families, eats families
