         Bb       Ab 
I awake alone
             C#m                       B# 
in a woman's room I hardly know.
         Bb     Ab 
I awake alone
           C#m                             B# 
and pretend that I am finally home.
         Bb               Ab 
The room is littered
                     C#m               B# 
with her books and notebooks
         Bb         Ab 
I imagine what they say, like,
   C#m                       B# 
"Shoo fly don't bother me."
   Bb                             Ab                             C#m 
I can hardly get myself out of the bed
         B#         Bb                           Ab             C#m 
for fear of never lying in this bed again.
         B#                 Bb   Ab     C#m   B# 
Oh Christ, I'm not that desperate.
       Bb         Ab         C#m 
Oh no, oh God. I am.
Bb, Ab, C#m, B#(x3)
