Bass notes on the E string are optional if you wish to add them,

For the simple people.....

Intro:
Ebmaj7 Dmin x8
Ebmaj7 (Dmin)
I wake alone
(Ebmaj7) (Dmin)
in a woman's room I hardly know.
Ebmaj7 Dmin
I wake alone
Ebmaj7 Dmin
and pretend that I am finally home.
Ebmaj7 Dmin
The room is littered
Ebmaj7 Dmin
with her books and notebooks
Ebmaj7 Dmin
I imagine what they say, like,
Ebmaj7 Dmin
"Shoo fly don't bother me."
Ebmaj7 Dmin Ebmaj7
I can hardly get myself out of the bed
Dmin Ebmaj7 Dmin Ebmaj7
for fear of never lying in this bed again.
Dmin
Oh Christ, I'm
Ebmaj7
not
Dmin7no5
that
Gmin Fmaj
desperate.
Ebmaj7
Oh no,
Dmin7no5
oh God.
Gmin
I am.
Ebmaj7 Dmin x8
(Ebmaj7) (Dmin) (Ebmaj7)
How'd I end up here to begin with?
(Dmin)
I don't know.
(Ebmaj7) (Dmin) (Ebmaj7)
Why do I start what I can't finish?
(Dmin) Ebmaj7
Oh please don't barrage me
Dmin
with the questions
Ebmaj7 Dmin
to all those ugly answers.
Ebmaj7 Dmin
My ego's like my stomach,
Ebmaj7 Dmin
it keeps shitting what I feed it.
Ebmaj7 Dmin Ebmaj7 Dmin
But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore.
Ebmaj7 Dmin Ebmaj7
Maybe I can wait in bed 'til she comes home
Dmin
and whispers,
Ebmaj7 Gmin Fmaj
"You're in my web now,
Ebmaj7 Gmin
I've come to wrap you up tight
Fmaj
'til it's time to bite down."
D#maj7 Dmin x8
(Ebmaj7)(Dmin)
I wake alone
(Ebmaj7) (Dmin)
in a woman's room I hardly know.
(Ebmaj7)(Dmin)
I wake alone
(Emaj7) (Dmin)
and pretend that I am finally home.
Ebmaj7 Dmin x8
