Intro: , During the verse you only play the 6th and 5th string on the guitar. The C is only the 5th and 4th. During the other parts of the song, it is the full chords. Got a brand new roof above my head All the empty boxes thrown away I rearranged the place a hundred times today But the ordering of objects couldn't hide whats missing All these things, should make me happy Make me happy to be home again All these things, should make me happy Make me happy to be alone again Got myself a bottle of red wine Got a night with nothing else to do I think I might know what I really want But is a brighter discontent the best that I can hope to find Got a big black television set Now I can watch just what I want But I'm here staring up at pictures on the wall Where are you, you're still stuck inside 'em all All these things, should make me happy Make me happy to be home again All these days, should make me happy Make me happy to be alone again But love is not these belongings and surroundings Though theres meaning in the memories they hold A breaking heart in an empty apartment Was the loudest sound I ever heard , , Got a desk, I'll write myself a note Pretending that it came from you On hotel stationary, from the time we first met Whatever I can do, 'cause I won't throw my hands up yet All these things, should make me happy Make me happy to be home again All these things, should make me happy Make me happy to be alone again But love is not these belongings that surround you Though theres meaning in the memories they hold A breaking heart in an empty apartment Was the loudest sound I ever heard , , , x2 But I'll be fine if I don't look around me that much for whats gone If only I could wait here just a little while and let time pass in my room , , , (end on )
