Capo 1
[Verse 1]
On the Cmorning when I Fwoke up without Cyou for the first Ftime
I felt Cfree and I felt Glonely and I felt Cscared
And CI began to Ftalk to myself Amalmost immediatelyF  
Not being Cused to Gbeing the Fonly person Gthere, mhmmCm                               
[Verse 2]
The Cfirst time I made Fcoffee for just Cmyself, I made too much Fof it
But I drank it Call just cause you Ghate it when I Flet things go to Cwaste
And I Cwandered through the Fhouse like a little Amboy lost in the Fmall
And an Castronaut could've Gseen the hunger Fin my eyes from Gspace
[Chorus]
And I sang
COh, What do I Gdo? What do I Fdo? What do I Cdo?
CWhat do I Gdo without Cyou?
[Verse 3]
On the Cmorning when I Fwoke up without Cyou for the first Ftime
I was Ccold so I put on a Gsweater Fand I turned up the Cheat
And the Cwalls began to Fclose in and I Amfelt so sad and Ffrightened
I practically Cran from the Gliving room out Finto the Cstreet
And the Cwind began to Fblow and all the Ctrees began to Fbend
And the Cworld in its cold Gway started coming Calive
And I Cstood there like a Fbusiness man Amwaiting for the Ftrain
And I got Cready for the Gfuture to Carrive
[Chorus]
And I sang
COh, What do I Gdo? What do I Fdo? What do I Cdo?
CWhat do I Gdo without Cyou?
[Outro]
