[Verse]
        D
   The laughter is gone
        D
   The crying' is over
        G
   And I'm not losin' sleep anymore
        D
   The walls are all bare
        D
   The closet's half empty
        G
   The phone doesn't ring like before
  A               G
   I'm done with fallin' apart
       A                        G   A
   I' waitin' for my change of heart

   I wake up alone
            G         A
   Knowin' I'm on my own again
    D            A            G   A
   Got it all straight in my head
            D           A
   Must be somethin' I missed
         G             A
   As I went down the list
            D            A          G
   Of the things that I need to forget
    Em
   Everything's gone
        A                   D
   But you haven't left me yet
 
[Verse]
      D
   I painted our room
      D
   Replaced all the curtains
        G
   And there's a new rug on the floor
    D
   Called up the Good Will
    D
   Said come and get it
         G
   Everything she left behind is yours
  A                     G
   I can still see you drivin' away
       A                       G  A
   So why do I still see your face
 
[Chorus]
      D       A
   I wake up alone
            G         A
   Knowin' I'm on my own again
    D            A            G   A
   Got it all straight in my head
            D           A
   Must be somethin' I missed
         G             A
   As I went down the list
            D            A          G
   Of the things that I need to forget
    Em
   Everything's gone
        A                   D
   But you haven't left me yet
 
[Bridge]
  C
   There's not a picture left
  G
   Not a stitch of clothes
  A
   But there's still something here
   And I don't believe in ghosts
 
[Outro]
