After The Earthquake

Intro (x3): | B | B | A | A |

Verse 1:
           B
After the earthquake
                  A
Pictures hanging diagonally
                           B
Drive through crying in a milkshake
                    A
It wasn’t built to last

Verse 2:
            B
Up in the front seat
                            A
You were playing with the station
                          B
And I was fidgeting with the heat
                     E               A            Gbm
Looking back to the vibrant days of racket in the hall

Chorus:
  E              B
Caution to the breeze
                      Gbm              E       B
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now-ow
                Gbm
Velvet curtain drawn
  E              B
Flowers at your feet
                   D                A          B
Say you’ll contemplate how you’re weighed down

Instrumental (x2): | Gbm | E | B | B |

Verse 3:
                   B                          A
The pulse of the brakelight is the colour of burning embers
                            B
If you wake up, will you remember
                     A
The awful things I said at the edge of the bed?

Verse 4:
                   B
Thrashing like a great white
                                       A
         As they rolled you up on a stretcher
(I feel the   northern   tide        crashing)
                                 B
And the faint words of Jessica Fletcher
(on   the   pines)
                                   E       A            Gbm
         Were drowned out by the sound of racket in the hall
(I feel the    northern    tide     crashing on the pines)

Chorus:
  E            B
Caution to the breeze
                      Gbm              E       B
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now-ow

Bridge 1:
      Emaj7                        Amaj7
Those days, I’d never let you fall apart
           Emaj7                               Amaj7
But things fade  like the scent of a brand new  car
                         Emaj7
Why would I ever fall in love  again
     Gb7              Gbm       E        B
When every detail is over the guardrail?
                      Gbm              E    B
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now

Chorus:
 B                 D               Gbm     B
Say you’ll contemplate how you’re weighed down

Post-chorus:
                   Gbm E  B
Are you awake now?
                   Gbm E  B
Are you awake now?

Outro:
              Gbm
Racket in the hall
  E              B
Caution to the breeze
                Gbm
Velvet curtain drawn
  E              B
Flowers at your feet

Outro:
   Gbm | E | B | B |
   D  | A | B |
