You learn to drink your whiskey neatG

And sleep on tired feetD

You learn to send the laundry out G A
You learn to amuse yourself

You learn to live without
G D
You tell yourself you?re rich at last in money and in time

You learn to fall asleep alone
You learn to silence ticking clocksG
You learn to turn the shades at night
And double check the locks

You learn to speak so calmly when
Your heart would like to scream and shoutG A
You learn to stop and breathe and smile

You find the coat and tie you thought you'd given to good will

You toss his favorite shoes on to the pile

You see him in the faces of the boys he left behind

And die a bit with every tiny smile
D
But only for a while....

You learn to stand alone at last
So brave and bold and strong and stout G
You learn to somehow like the dark

You even love the doubt

You learn to hold your life inside you

And never let it out
G Em A
You learn to live and die and then to live
D
You learn to live without
G
You learn to live without
