[Intro]
G C Am D11
G Em Am B7
[Verse]
G C
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Am D11 G
It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong
Em Am
Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song
B7
I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long
G C
The window's open now and the winter settles in
Am D11 G
We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin
Em Am
I love your depression and I love your double chin
B7
I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering
[Chorus]
Am G Am G
Oh I know that I left you in places of despair
Am G Am G
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair
Am G Am G
At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up
Am G Am G
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
[Chorus]
G C
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Am D11 G
Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone
Em Am
We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn
B7
We could make babies and accidental songs
G C
I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool
Am D11 G
I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules
Em Am
My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through
B7
I cover my eyes, still all I see is you
[Repeat Chorus]
