Verse 

G                          Em 
There's a void in my heart I can't seem to fill 
G                                      Em 
Been a parent, had three children and a big house on the hill 
G                                  C                   G 
Hundred dollar in my pocket and it didn't buy a thing 
                                     C              G 
Now there's a void in my heart and a hole in my dreams 


Verse 

G                                 Em 
Well I poured miles of concrete and strung wire for telephones 
G                                       Em 
Dug ditches when I was a young boy when I first left my parents' home 
G                                      C                     G 
Sang my songs for millions of people, sang good and bad news 
                                     C               G 
Now there's a void in my heart and a fire at my fuse 


Verse 

G                                        Em 
Well I did everything just like they said so I could find happiness 
G                                       Em 
Went to school and got a college degree and at my job I did my best 
G                                 C                     G 
As I sit here alone tonight I see a billion just like me 
                                 C                 G 
With a void in their hearts and running from eternity

Verse 

G                            Em 
There's a void in my heart I can't seem to fill 
G                                    
I do charity work when I believe in the cause 
           Em                        
But in my soul it bothers me still 
G                   C                G 
Hey, Lord, well you made me like I am 
         C                     G 
Can You heal this restlessness? 

Will there be a void in my heart 
            C                   G 
When they carry me out to rest? 

G
