Animals Were Gone Uke tab by Damien Rice

Verse 1

G                                    C                  C/B
  Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone

Am7                    D/A             G                D
  It's left this house empty now, not sure if I belong

Em                                Am7                  
  Yesterday you asked me to write you a pleasant song

B7
  I'll do my best now, but you've been gone for so long


G                               C                  C/B
  The window's open now and the winter settles in

Am7             D/A                G              D
  We'll call it Christmas when the adverts begin
  
Em                             Am7
  I love your depression and I love your double chin
  
B7
  I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering



Chorus

Am               G           Am           G     G6 Gsus4 G
Oh I know that I left you in places of despair

Am               G            Am                     G    G6 Gsus4 G
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair

   Am               G            Am                G   G6 Gsus4 G
At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up

       Am            G               Am                     G 
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup



Verse 2

Woke up and for the first time the animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now so before our time is gone
We could get a house and some boxes on the lawn
We could make babies and accidental songs

I know I've been a liar and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break yet, but I'm glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through
I cover my eyes, still all I see is you



Chorus

Oh I know that I left you in places of despair
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair
At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
