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