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
