Beverly Mahood - The First Day (you Wake Up Alone)

(N Sheridan)

Capo: 4th Fret

INTRO:  [G] (Let Ring)

[G]He said this and she said that
She [C]called her momma and he blew his stack
He [D]gave her hell and she [C]gave it right back to him [G]too
Well anger clouded his mind last night
But [C]things look clearer as the first daylight
Slips [D]through the curtain
And he [C]opens his eyes to that motel [D]room

CHORUS #1:
On the [G]first day when [C]you wake up [D]alone
Ain't that the [G]first day [C]it [G]all hits [D]home
You can [E]slam the door, you can scream and shout
Till the [G]lights come on in the neighbours House
[E]You can get in your car, [F#]Make some tracks
[G]Swear you're never comin' back
But you [C]learn there's a difference between going and [D]gone
Yeah on the [A]first day [C] you wake up [G]alone  [D]

Well [G]she's sitting there in that sunny little kitchen
In e[C]motional wreakage and some broken dishes
[D]Surround her and she [C]wishes she could see his [G]face
Now did he do something crazy-she knows how he gets
She's [C]wondering where he went when he left
And how'd they [D]ever get [C]into this mess in the [D]first place

CHORUS #2

INSTRUMENTAL:  [G]   [D]

BRIDGE:
[Em]He pulls in the driveway [Am]
She runs to the [Am]door [Asus2]
[Em]He says I'm [D]sorry baby
[Em]She [C]says what [D]for?

CHORUS #2:
On the [G]first day when you wake up [D]alone
Ain't that the [G]first day [C]it [G]all hits [D]home
On the [G]first day when [C]you wake up [D]alone
Ain't that the [G]first day [C]it [G]all hits [D]home
You can [E]slam the door, You can scream and shout
Til the [F#]lights come on in the neighbours House
[G]You can get in your car, make some tracks
[C]Swear you're never comin' back
Never coming back
Until the [A]first day [D] you wake up [G]alone
Well he said this or she said that, yeah
Yeah on the first day
