Performance Notes: 
Most of the chords sound good played with downstrokes, 
somewhat aggressively as "power chords" (Root, 5th) 
Make it sound pretty in the Bridge, then chug it again. 
As always, listen to the recording to get the feel of it. 
 
Intro: B (Let Ring) 
 
Verse 1: 
B 
He said this and she said that 
    E 
She called her momma and he blew his stack 
   F#                    E                         B 
He gave her hell and she gave it right back to him too 
 
Well anger clouded his mind last night 
    E 
But things look clearer as the first daylight 
      F# 
Slips through the curtain 
       E                            F# 
And he opens his eyes to that motel room 
 
 
Chorus: 
       B              E*          F# 
On the first day when you wake up alone 
               B         E  B        F# 
Ain't that the first day it all hits home 
        G# 
You can slam the door 
         
You can scream and shout 
         B 
Till the lights come on 
 
In the neighbours House 
G# 
You can get in your car 
Bb 
Make some tracks 
B 
Swear you're never comin' back 
        E 
But you learn there's a difference 
                  F# 
Between going and gone 
            C#       E             B        F#  
Yeah on the first day  you wake up alone 
 
 
Verse 2: 
     B 
Well she's sitting there in that sunny little kitchen 
     E 
In emotional wreakage and some broken dishes 
  F#                 E                        B 
Surround her and she wishes she could see his face 
 
Now did he do something crazy-she knows how he gets 
      E 
She's wondering where he went when he left 
               F#       E                     F# 
And how'd they ever get into this mess in the first place

Till the lights come on

Bb 
Make some tracks

Swear you're never comin' back

Between going and gone 
            C#       E             B        F#  B   F# 
Yeah on the first day  you wake up alone

Well he said this or she said that, yeah
