The Way It Was Before chords by Jack Conte

Chords with lyrics

A minorAm            A minorAm
Hear it when I crunch the leaves on the ground
A minorAm           DmDm
Imagine it's me, once green soon brown
A minorAm             E MajorE        A minorAm
And the wind will howl but I won't make no sound

A minorAm       A minorAm
After we pass through this circus
A minorAm       DmDm
After they have swept the floor
A minorAm            E MajorE       A minorAm
It'll all go back to the way it was before

A minorAm
I keep myself distracted with the mirror pen
A minorAm               DmDm
I store the words on paper instead of my head
      A minorAm
It's like a cold glass of milk
      E MajorE          A minorAm
When me and my stomach ache are stuck in bed

A minorAm
What if all the crazies are really sane
A minorAm              DmDm
They see something that the rest of us can't
A minorAm
And I'll never feel the pain
E MajorE         A minorAm
Of having to fade away

A minorAm       A minorAm
After we pass through this circus
A minorAm       DmDm
After they have swept the floor
A minorAm            E MajorE       A minorAm
It'll all go back to the way it was before

DmDm          A minorAm
I'm fine being by myself
A minorAm           E MajorE
Not wasting wishes on women
E MajorE              A minorAm
When I'm throwing pennies in the well

DmDm          A minorAm
I'm fine being by myself
          E MajorE
I still got my tongue, don't I?
E MajorE       A minorAm
And a story to tell

A minorAm       A minorAm
After we pass through this circus
A minorAm       DmDm
After they have swept the floor
A minorAm            E MajorE       A minorAm
It'll all go back to the way it was before

A minorAm       A minorAm
After we pass through this circus
A minorAm       DmDm
After they have swept the floor
A minorAm            E MajorE       A minorAm
It'll all go back to the way it was before

A minorAm            E MajorE       A minorAm
It'll all go back to the way it was before
A minorAm            E MajorE       A minorAm
It'll all go back to the way it was before
A minorAm            E MajorE       A minorAm
