now all you need is someone who can play the cello.....

Anything in parenthesis is optional or implied by the lyric, 
absolutely feel free to play what feels good. 

chords:                                              and as a possible 
                                                   substitute for Dmin7no5

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.

For the simple people.....

Intro:
Ebmaj7 Dmin  x8 

  Ebmaj7 (Dmin)   
I  wake  alone

      (Ebmaj7)           (Dmin)      
in  a  woman's  room  I  hardly  know.

  Ebmaj7  Dmin   
I  wake  alone

     Ebmaj7                Dmin
and  pretend  that  I  am  finally  home.

     Ebmaj7     Dmin
The  room  is  littered

           Ebmaj7      Dmin 
with  her  books  and  notebooks
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/c/cursive/226767.html ]
    Ebmaj7  Dmin            
I  imagine  what  they  say,  like,

Ebmaj7             Dmin  
"Shoo  fly  don't  bother  me."

 Ebmaj7                Dmin               Ebmaj7
I  can  hardly  get  myself  out  of  the  bed

     Dmin      Ebmaj7       Dmin             Ebmaj7
for  fear  of  never  lying  in  this  bed  again.

    Dmin         
Oh  Christ,  I'm  

Ebmaj7
not 

Dmin7no5
that  

Gmin  Fmaj  
desperate.

Ebmaj7   
Oh  no,

Dmin7no5
oh  God.

Gmin
I  am.


Ebmaj7 Dmin  x8 


(Ebmaj7)      (Dmin)               (Ebmaj7) 
How'd  I  end  up  here  to  begin  with?

   (Dmin)
I  don't  know.

(Ebmaj7)     (Dmin)                (Ebmaj7)
Why  do  I  start  what  I  can't  finish?

    (Dmin)         Ebmaj7
Oh  please  don't  barrage  me

           Dmin
with  the  questions

    Ebmaj7            Dmin
to  all  those  ugly  answers.

    Ebmaj7           Dmin
My  ego's  like  my  stomach,

           Ebmaj7             Dmin  
it  keeps  shitting  what  I  feed  it.

     Ebmaj7                      Dmin      Ebmaj7     Dmin    
But  maybe  I  don't  want  to  finish  anything  anymore.

Ebmaj7                   Dmin                   Ebmaj7
Maybe  I  can  wait  in  bed  'til  she  comes  home

     Dmin
and  whispers,

Ebmaj7          Gmin  Fmaj
"You're  in  my  web  now,

Ebmaj7          Gmin           
I've  come  to  wrap  you  up  tight
            Fmaj
'til  it's  time  to  bite  down."

      (Ebmaj7)           (Dmin)
in  a  woman's  room  I  hardly  know.

I  wake  alone
