Chords with lyrics
capo 1
- chords here are relative to capo 1
- however, it is fun to capo 6 and transpose the chords down 5 (G, D, G, Em, C, G, etc.)
- each of the verses use the same chord progression
- for verse 1, just pluck chords, if you want it to sound like the album
- there is an instrumental interlude before verse 3, i usually omit it when playing solo acoustic
[Verse 1]
C majorC G+G C majorC
there's some old flowers on the kitchen table
A minorAm FF C majorC
some photos taped upon the wall
FF FF C majorC
closet full of empty clothes hangars
A minorAm FF G+G C majorC
old box of kotex in the bathroom stall
[Chorus]
G+G C majorC
and there's still life even after you're gone
G+G FF C majorC
still life even though the nights go on for way to long
G+G FF C majorC
because i'm breathing even though i can't go on
FF G+G C majorC
there's still life even after you're gone
[Verse 2]
there's some gaps in my CD collection
dog door, but there ain't no dog
'cause you took the dang dog when you left me
all that you left me was this cold gray fog
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
FF G+G C majorC FF
i know that friends some time are gonna take away the pain
FF G+G C majorC FF
and that before too long i'll be on my feet again
FF G+G C majorC FF
but all i know is nights go on and on and on
FF G+G C majorC
and there's still life even after you're gone
[Verse 3]
i get up for work every morning
to somehow make it through the day
and when they ask me how i'm doin
i bite my lip, tell 'em man, everything's okay
