Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh baby, the[Dsus4]re's a letter on t[D]he floor
That I just can't read no more
[Dsus4]'Cause the words up[D]on its face
are sayin' [G]goodbye
There's [Gsus4]a plate upon t[G]he table
Filled with food I [Gsus4]could not[G] eat
There's a made- [Gsus4]up bed in the[G]
bedroom where I couldn't [C]sleep
I just sit and [Cm]weep[F]
Oh baby, that's [Bb]how it is since
you've [Ab]been gone
That's [Bb]how it is, I'm so a[Edim]ll alon[A]e
[D]

[Verse 2]
Now the curtain[Dsus4]s are
[D]drawn in my lonely room
And the dark[Dsus4]ness fill[D]s the air
And this old empty heart of
mine is in [G]despair
Even [Gsus4]though the tears I [G]shed
[Gsus4]Washed the words aw[G]ay
I could [Gsus4]still rem[G]ember
every word you had to [C]say
They just [Cm]wouldn't go [F]away
Oh baby, that's [Bb]how it is since
[Ab]you've been gone
That's [Bb]how it is,
I'm so [Edim]all alo[A]ne

[Interlude 1]
[D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4]
[D]Oh

[Verse 3]
[G]baby, you knew
right from the start
That my heart was [Gsus4]in your h[G]ands
And [Gsus4]your every, ever[G]y wish,
boy, was my [C]command
That's why [Cm]I can't understand
[F]How you could lea[Bb]ve me
here [Daug]helpless, [Ab]dear
[Bb]Alone and afraid, oh how could
such a mis[Fsus4]take be made?
But that's [Bb]how it is since
[Ab]you've been gone
That's [Bb]how it is, I'm so alone,
[Fsus4]oh baby
[Both (repeat & fade):]
That's [Bb]how it is since
[Ab]you've been gone
That's [Bb]how it is,
I'm [C]so [Fsus4]alone
[Bb]
