Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
     C# minorC#m
There were rooms of forgiveness
      C# minorC#m
In the house that we share
        C# minorC#m
But the space has been emptied
         C# minorC#m
Of whatever was there
         C# minorC#m
There were cupboards of patience
         C# minorC#m
There were shelf loads of care
        C# minorC#m
But whoever came calling
      C# minorC#m
Found nobody there

Chorus:
      G#G#
After today, consider me gone


Verse 2:
            C# minorC#m
Roses have thorns, and shining waters mud
            C# minorC#m
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud
         C# minorC#m
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun
         C# minorC#m
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done


Chorus:
G#G#
  After today, consider me gone


Verse 3:
           C# minorC#m
I've spent too many years at war with myself
           C# minorC#m
The doctor has told me it's no good for my health
            C# minorC#m
To search for perfection is all very well
           C# minorC#m
But to look for heaven is to live here in hell


Chorus:
      G#G#
After today, consider me gone
