Chords with lyrics

Intro:

 BB (Let Ring)



Verse 1:
BB
He said this and she said that
  E MajorE
She called her momma and he blew his stack
  F#F#          E MajorE             BB
He gave her hell and she gave it right back to him too

Well anger clouded his mind last night
  E MajorE
But things look clearer as the first daylight
   F#F#
Slips through the curtain
    E MajorE              F#F#
And he opens his eyes to that motel room

Chorus:
    BB       E*     F#F#
On the first day when you wake up alone
        BB     E MajorE BB    F#F#
Ain't that the first day it all hits home
    G#G#
You can slam the door

You can scream and shout
     BB
Till the lights come on

In the neighbours House
G#G#
You can get in your car
Bb majorBb
Make some tracks
BB
Swear you're never comin' back
    E MajorE
But you learn there's a difference
         F#F#
Between going and gone
      C#C#    E MajorE       BB    F#F#
Yeah on the first day you wake up alone

Verse 2:
   BB
Well she's sitting there in that sunny little kitchen
   E MajorE
In emotional wreakage and some broken dishes
 F#F#         E MajorE            BB
Surround her and she wishes she could see his face

Now did he do something crazy-she knows how he gets
   E MajorE
She's wondering where he went when he left
        F#F#    E MajorE           F#F#
And how'd they ever get into this mess in the first place


Chorus:
    BB       E*     F#F#
On the first day when you wake up alone
        BB     E MajorE BB    F#F#
Ain't that the first day it all hits home
    G#G#
You can slam the door

You can scream and shout
     BB
Till the lights come on

In the neighbours House
G#G#
You can get in your car
Bb majorBb
Make some tracks
BB
Swear you're never comin' back
    E MajorE
But you learn there's a difference
         F#F#
Between going and gone
      C#C#    E MajorE       BB    F#F# BB  F#F#
Yeah on the first day you wake up alone


Bridge:
G# minorG#m           C# minorC#m
He pulls in the driveway
        C# minorC#m C#sus2C#sus2
She runs to the door
G# minorG#m     F#F#
He says I'm sorry baby
G# minorG#m E MajorE     F#F#
She says what for?


Outro Chorus:
    BB             F#F#
On the first day when you wake up alone
        BB     E MajorE BB    F#F#
Ain't that the first day it all hits home
    BB       E*     F#F#
On the first day when you wake up alone
        BB     E MajorE BB    F#F#
Ain't that the first day it all hits home
    G#G#
You can slam the door

You can scream and shout
     Bb majorBb
Till the lights come on

In the neighbours House
BB
You can get in your car

Make some tracks
E MajorE
Swear you're never comin' back

Never coming back
     C#C#    F#F#      BB
Until the first day you wake up alone

Well he said this or she said that, yeah

Yeah on the first day
