The First Day (you Wake Up Alone)

Tabbed by stratmaniak 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: (Let Ring) Verse 1: He said this and she said that She called her momma and he blew his stack He gave her hell and she gave it right back to him too Well anger clouded his mind last night But things look clearer as the first daylight Slips through the curtain And he opens his eyes to that motel room Chorus: On the first day when you wake up alone Ain't that the first day it all hits home You can slam the door You can scream and shout Till the lights come on In the neighbours House You can get in your car Make some tracks Swear you're never comin' back But you learn there's a difference Between going and gone Yeah on the first day you wake up alone Verse 2: Well she's sitting there in that sunny little kitchen In emotional wreakage and some broken dishes Surround her and she wishes she could see his face Now did he do something crazy-she knows how he gets She's wondering where he went when he left And how'd they ever get into this mess in the first place Chorus: On the first day when you wake up alone Ain't that the first day it all hits home You can slam the door You can scream and shout Till the lights come on In the neighbours House You can get in your car Make some tracks Swear you're never comin' back But you learn there's a difference Between going and gone Yeah on the first day you wake up alone Bridge: He pulls in the driveway She runs to the door He says I'm sorry baby She says what for? Outro Chorus: On the first day when you wake up alone Ain't that the first day it all hits home On the first day when you wake up alone Ain't that the first day it all hits home You can slam the door You can scream and shout Till the lights come on In the neighbours House You can get in your car Make some tracks Swear you're never comin' back Never coming back Until the first day you wake up alone Well he said this or she said that, yeah Yeah on the first day
