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]
C5                        G5              C5
there's some old flowers on the kitchen table
A5          F5              C5
some photos taped upon the wall
F5              F5                C5
closet full of empty clothes hangars
A5         F5                G5     C5
old box of kotex in the bathroom stall


[Chorus]
            G5                            C5
and there's still life even after you're gone
G5                                    F5             C5
still life even though the nights go on for way to long
            G5               F5               C5
because i'm breathing even though i can't go on
        F5               G5            C5
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]
F5                 G5                     C5             F5
i know that friends some time are gonna take away the pain
F5          G5                       C5          F5
and that before too long i'll be on my feet again
F5          G5                C5             F5
but all i know is nights go on and on and on
             F5                G5           C5
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]
