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

chorus

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
