GSince you went away,
Every night and day
I've been drinking too much Bmwine
I've been sitting in doorwCays, uncircled lDines
GSince you went away,
Every night and day,
I've been staring into sBmpace,
I've been tumbling sloCwly through city escDapes
And I Amgo where the peoplGe gDo,
and I Amsee some of'em lauCgh at me
What's that meDan?
Since you went away,
Every night and day,
I've been marking time,
I've been staring through windows at traffic signs
Since you went away,
Every night and day,
I've been wandering around,
I've been sat by the tv, with the sound turned down
And I go, and I see some laugh at me
What's that mean?

Since you went away,

Every night and day

I've been drinking too much wine

C D

I've been sitting in doorways, uncircled lines

Since you went away,

Every night and day,

I've been staring into space,

C D

I've been tumbling slowly through city escapes

Am G D

And I go where the people go,

Am C

and I see some of'em laugh at me

What's that mean?

Since you went away,

Every night and day,

I've been marking time,

I've been staring through windows at traffic signs

Since you went away,

Every night and day,

I've been wandering around,

I've been sat by the tv, with the sound turned down

And I go, and I see some laugh at me

What's that mean?
