Bass notes on the E string are optional if you wish to add them,
I didn't because the song simply feels too sedate for that nonsense.

x8
I wake alone
in a woman's room I hardly know.
I wake alone
and pretend that I am finally home.
The room is littered
with her books and notebooks
I imagine what they say, like,
"Shoo fly don't bother me."
I can hardly get myself out of the bed
for fear of never lying in this bed again.
Oh Christ, I'm
not
that
desperate.
Oh no,
oh God.
I .
x8
How'd I end up here to begin with?
I don't know.
Why do I start what I can't finish?
Oh please don't barrage me
with the questions
to all those ugly answers.
My ego's like my stomach,
it keeps shitting what I feed it.
But maybe I don't want to finish anything anymore.
Maybe I can wait in bed 'til she comes home
and whispers,
"You're in my web now,
I've come to wrap you up tight
'til it's time to bite down."
x8
I wake alone
in a woman's room I hardly know.
I wake alone
and pretend that I am finally home.
x8

[Ebmaj7] [Dm9] x8
I [Ebmaj7] wake a[Dm9]lone
in a [Ebmaj7]woman's room I h[Dm9]ardly know.
I [Ebmaj7] wake a[Dm9]lone
and [Ebmaj7]pretend that I am [Dm9]finally home.
The [Ebmaj7]room is l[Dm9]ittered
with her [Ebmaj7]books and [Dm9]notebooks
I i[Ebmaj7]magine [Dm9]what they say, like,
[Ebmaj7]"Shoo fly don't [Dm9]bother me."
I[Ebmaj7] can hardly get my[Dm9]self out of the[Ebmaj7] bed
for [Dm9]fear of [Ebmaj7] never lying[Dm9] in this bed [Ebmaj7] again.
Oh [Dm9]Christ, I'm
[Ebmaj7]not
[Dmin7no5]that
[Gm9]despe[F]rate.
[Ebmaj7]Oh no,
[Dmin7no5]oh God.
[Gm9]
I [Am].
[Ebmaj7] [Dm9] x8
H[Ebmaj7]ow'd I end [Dm9]up here to begin [Ebmaj7] with?
I d[Dmin]on't know.
W[Ebmaj7]hy do I st[Dm9]art what I can't [Ebmaj7]finish?
Oh p[Dm9]lease don't [Ebmaj7] barrage me
with the [Dm9]questions
to [Ebmaj7]all those ugly [Dm9]answers.
My [Ebmaj7]ego's like my [Dm9]stomach,
it keeps [Ebmaj7]shitting what I [Dm9]feed it.
But [Ebmaj7]maybe I don't want to f[Dm9]inish an[Ebmaj7]ything any[Dm9]more.
[Ebmaj7]Maybe I can wait in [Dm9]bed 'til she comes [Ebmaj7] home
and [Dm9]whispers,
[Ebmaj7]"You're in my [Gm9] web [F] now,
[Ebmaj7]I've come to [Gm9]wrap you up tight
'til it's [F]time to bite down."
[Ebmaj7] [Dm9] x8
I [Ebmaj7] wake a[Dm9]lone
in a [Ebmaj7]woman's room I h[Dm9]ardly know.
I [Ebmaj7] wake a[Dm9]lone
and pr[Emaj7]etend that I am [Dm9]finally home.
