The Aftermath

Am C Am Em F C G C Am Dm C G

[Verse]
           C
I had you on my mind
           Am           Em
In visions more refined
            Dm      C      G
The further back in time
                C
Some friends of friend's estate
             Am         Em
Home for the holidays
             Dm    C            G
The smell of conifer and mulled wine

[Interlude]
ooohh
Am Em C

[Verse]
           C
Seducer's calculus
             Am         Em
I feigned an accident
                Dm          C           G
Reached out and grazed your neck
        C
My god it's been so long
         Am             Em
I see you're moving on
                    Dm       C          G
You're right, we're not dead yet
            C
We find an empty room
              Am
More catching up to do
            F           C   G
And what is one more regret

[Verse]
            C                              Am
When I ask you what you want you flash a guarded look
      Em                Dm
You taunt me with your eyes
        G
As you parse over the aftermath
        C
But in times like these my silver tongue
 Am             Em            Dm
Returns to me undying love I pine
                  C     Am Dm F
Until you give it up
                  G     F G
And turn out the lights
          C
Then the morning takes
   Am
The love away
        Dm        C
Leaving only ashtrays
              G
And broken bottles
       C
How I long to shake
        Am
My own shoulder blades
         Dm             C
When I rise before you wake
              G
To avoid the trouble


               Dm        Am        G
And when I leave you will owe me nothing

           Dm            Am      G
When I leave it will all mean nothing
