[Intro 1]
[G][C][Am]
[G][D][Em][Am]
[B]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Woke up and for [G]the first
time the [C]animals [Am]were gone
It's left this house empty now,
not [G]sure if [D]I belong[Em]
Yesterday you asked me to [Am]write
you a pleasant [B]song
I'll do my best now but you've been
gone now for so [G]long

[Verse 2]
The window's open now [C]and the winter
settles [G]in[Am]
We'll call it Christmas when the
[G]adverts [D]begin[Em]
I love your depression and I
[Am]love your double chin
[B]I love most everything you

[Verse 3]
bring to this offering
[Am]Oh, I know that [G]I've left you
In [Am]places of despair
[G]Oh,[Am] I know that I love[G] you
So [Am]please throw down [G]your hair

[Verse 4]
At [Am]night I dream [G]without you
And [Am]hope I don't [G]wake up
'Cause [Am]waking up [G]without you
Is like [Am]drinking from an empty [G]cup

[Verse 5]
Woke up and for the first time [C]the
animals [G]were gone[Am]
Our clocks are ticking now so [G]be
fore our time is [D]gone[Em]
We can get a house and some
[Am]boxes on [B]the lawn
We can make babies
and accidental [G]songs

[Verse 6]
I know I've been a liar [C]and I know
I've [G]been a fool
[Am]I hope we didn't break it but
I'm [G]glad we broke the rules
[Em]My cave is deep now yet
[Am]your light is shining through
[B]I cover my eyes, still all I see is you

[Verse 7]
[Am]Oh, I know I've [G]left you
In [Am]places of des[G]pair
[Am]Oh, I know that I [G]love you
So [Am]please throw down [G]your hair

[Verse 8]
At [Am]night I dream [G]without you
[Am]And hope I don't w[G]ake up
'Cause [Am]waking up [G]without you
Is like [Am]drinking from an empty [G]cup
