Bm 
G 
C 
On the
D 
G 
Bm 
morning of the first day
G 
that you're gone
Em 
G 
and I wake up,
C 
I'll thank my lucky stars
A 
that I'm finally rid of you.
C 
D 
And casually I'll notice
C 
that your pillow is undisturbed
D 
C 
and there's just coolness
D 
G 
from the cupboards where you'd be.
Bm 
And after I've had breakfast
Em 
and I've bathed
G 
C 
I'll be relieved to find no whiskers
A 
in the basin where you've shaved
D 
C 
On the morning of the first day
that you're gone
Bm 
Am 
I'll laugh out loud to
know I'm a queen
D 
G 
where yesterday I  was a slave
Bm 
I'll walk from room to room
and be disturbed
Em 
G 
that there could still remain
C 
A 
some traces of the man I drove away
C 
D 
The chair I always hated,
C 
D 
or the picture that you painted
C 
D 
And the ashes that spilled over
G 
from your tray
Em 
G 
Bm 
It's then that I'll remember
Em 
G 
that the chair was the one I gave you
C 
And the picture that you
A 
painted was of me
D 
C 
And the ashes came from ci garettes
Bm 
Am 
you smoked to keep from crying
But I said you'd have to leave
D 
G 
Bm 
Em 
cause we were through

By the evening of the first day

I'll stand in silence at the win dow

Bb 
wishing I could stop the night
C# 
Eb 
By then I'll know for certain

Eb 
that you won't be coming back
C# 
Eb 
But still I'll keep on hoping
Ab 
that you might
Fm 
Ab 
Cm 
Then darkness throws its cover
Fm 
over everything
Ab 
and seals me tightly
C# 
Fm 
Bb 
in my  little world of glass and snow
Eb 
C# 
Then I'll want to keep the darkness
Cm 
Bbm 
cause I'll know tomorrow morning
Eb 
will begin my second day of  life
