verse 1
G C C/B
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Am7 D/A G D/F#
It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong
Em Am7
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 C/B
The window's open now and the winter settles in
Am7 D/A G D/F#
We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin
Em Am7
I love your depression and I love your double chin
B7
I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering
Am G Am G G6 Gsus4 G
Oh I know that I left you in places of despair
Am G Am G G6 Gsus4 G
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair
Am G Am G G6 Gsus4 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
verse 2
Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone
We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn
We could make babies and accidental songs
I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through
I cover my eyes, still all I see is you
Chorus
Oh I know that I left you in places of despair
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair
At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
