Intro: G C9 (2x) 

Verse: 

  G 
Nothing ventured 
           Em 
Nothing gained. 
                       G 
So the soothsayers all say. 
                         Em 
I don't think I believe a word. 
G                           Em  
Gonna let this chance roll by 
                             G 
Even though I hate to see you cry. 
                               Em 
You're doing fine or so I've heard. 

 
              Am 
I'm wondering why 
         C 
Did you go 
                 G 
And where you're at 
 G                            
Reflections in the window saying 
Am          C 
I told you so. 
                 G 
Won't bring you back. 
G                               Am 
I can't stand the days I wake alone. 
C 
I can't stand the days I wake alone. 


(The verse 2 and chorus are strummed exactly the same) 

Gonna fortify my wall 
Won't let nothing in at all 
Til the memory of you fades 

If you only knew how much 
I obsess over your touch 
I guess I'm old school in my ways 

I'm wondering why 
Did you go 
And where you're at 
Reflections in the window saying 
I told you so. 
Won't bring you back. 

I can't stand the days I wake alone. 
I can't stand the days I wake alone.  

Bridge: 

     G                C               G 
And even though my future's falling through. 
     G             C 
And maybe I will never find 
     G 
Another one like you. 
     G               C                G 
I'd gladly let the world just pass me by 
          D          Caad9 
Spinning out, stopping time 


I'm wondering why 
Did you go 
And where you're at 
Reflections in the window saying 
I told you so. 
Won't bring you back. 

I can't stand the days I wake alone. 
I can't stand the days I wake alone.
