Song name: The Day After

C#                A                   E(7th)       B

(muted)
it Was the day after atonement when I set myself so free
The first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty

the skies flooded like a monument the seas dried up like a storm
everyone I'd ever known was casting their remorse

(Broken strum)
Please grant pardons, please find parlance, stare into the sun
No more fear, no more confidence, now the war, the war is won (ends on A)

it Was the day after atonement when I gave up honesty
it was the first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty

my fingers tingled like a world event my eyes dried up to keep warm
everyone I'd ever known was casting their remorse

I will hold back, I will fall back
but my lips will be leaking
I'll call back and roll back
but my lips will be leaking
I will run back, I will come back
but my lips will be leaking
I will crush that I will crush that
but my lips will be leaking


it Was the day after atonement when I gave up everything
it was the first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty

the platelets, the leukocytes, growing far too thick
the plasma, the globulins, to the outer walls they stick
and your pupils always give away that you really are so sick
but I've always loved the broken ones because I need something to fix
I've always loved the broken ones because I need something to fix
I've always loved the broken ones because I need something to fix (end on A)


it Was the day after atonement when I set myself so free
The first time, the only time, I stopped feeling guilty (end on A)
