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]
there s some old flowers on the kitchen table
some photos taped upon the wall
closet full of empty clothes hangars
old box of kotex in the bathroom stall
[Chorus]
and there s still life even after you re gone
still life even though the nights go on for way to long
because i m breathing even though i can t go on
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]
i know that friends some time are gonna take away the pain
and that before too long i ll be on my feet again
but all i know is nights go on and on and on
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]
