After The Fall

(início)

D            A
I just had a really bad fall
    Em                         Bm
And this time it was harder to get up than before
  D                            A
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared
  Em                            G
I cried out "Can you help?", it replied "Not at all"
A G G
G                     A
After the fall is over
G                    A
You'll be on your own
G                     A G
After the fall is over
            D                   A
There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone
            Bm                G
There'll be much to clean and time to atone
    D                       A
But while it's dark you can shelter here
       Bm                          G
In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear
                      Em          A              D
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again
A G G
G                            A
A life's gotta have direction
G                        A
After the deals are done
G                          A
You gotta ask the question
D                       A
Ask yourself why you go through it all
     Em                          Bm
When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall
      D                     A
I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest
        Em                               Bm
Seeking refuge from the storm, and I'm a grateful guest
      D                    A
And a prophet cries out in high platitudes
  Em                              Bm
I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through"
       D                         A
And an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move"
     Em                             D
Even at the gates of Heaven I'll be waiting in a queue
A G G
G                            A
Seems like I'm falling upwards
G                        A
Into the great white blue
G                        A
And all my imperfections
        D                    A
You can learn your lines and fabricate a show
        Bm                    G
But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go
   D                A
We cheat and lie to conquer our fears
       Bm                     G
We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears
                      Em          A              D
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again
A G G
G               A
After the fall (after the fall is over)
G                       A
There'll be a better day
G                      A
After the fall is over
     D                        A
So I fell on my arse, now I'm feeling the pain
        Bm                    G
But the feeling will pass and so will the shame
    D                   A
The bigger the ego, the bigger the fall
          Bm                     D
When your reputation counts for nothing at all
                      Em          A              D
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again
          Em          A              D
I will greet you when the sun shines again
A G G
G               A
After the fall (after the fall is over)
G                        A
There'll be a better day
G                      A
After the fall is over
