[INTRO:] C   F   C   F   C   F   C   F   C

[VERSE 1:]
                        F              C
I'm rising early now my fate is away
                             F               G
I'm trying to find enough to fill up my day
                         F                G
I build a fire, take the dogs for a walk
                            F                 C
Hoping I'll meet no one who wants me to talk


[VERSE 2:]
                            F                 C
It's early August, there's a nip in the air
                         F                   G
Climate's changing but I don't really care
                              F             G
I'm getting tired of all this being alone
                             E7        F
Sometimes I wonder if you'll ever come home
           C            F           C
Where your absence just fills every space
F            Am         F        C     D
How can that be when ya left without a trace

[VERSE 3:]
                           F                     C
Days were different when we used to sleep late
                            F                G
You always said you were my permanent mate
                     F               G
It seems so cold, so empty somehow
                         E7
These words don't mean a thing to me
F             C            F           C
Now that your absence just fills every space
F            Am         F        C     D
How can that be when ya left without a trace


[BRIDGE:]
  G                  F
I don't know if it's loss or gain
  G              F
I feel no joy, I feel no pain
G                   F              G  F  Em Dm   G  F  Em Dm
Dark or light, it's all the same to me_________
