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 G C
there’s some old flowers on the kitchen table
Am F C
some photos taped upon the wall
F F C
closet full of empty clothes hangars
Am F G C
old box of kotex in the bathroom stall
[ chorus ]
G C
and there’s still life even after you’re gone
G F C
still life even though the nights go on for way to long
G F C
because i’m breathing even though i can’t go on
F G C
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 ]
F G C F
i know that friends some time are gonna take away the pain
F G C F
and that before too long i’ll be on my feet again
F G C F
but all i know is nights go on and on and on
F G C
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
[ repeat chorus ]
