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

On the first day when you wake up alone

Ain't that the first day it all hits home

You can get in your car

Make some tracks 
B 
Swear you're never comin' back 
        E 
But you learn there's a difference

Between going and gone

Yeah on the first day  you wake up alone

     B 
Well she's sitting there in that sunny little kitchen

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
