After Awhile
Jimmie Dale Gilmore
D C G G
I remember When You Told Me With a Smile
D C G G
Someday Baby You’ll Be Rolling out in Style
C C G G
I could wait forever Learnin’ about never and always
C C
You were in a hurry You had time worry
D Dstop
And room enough to find my heart and tear it all apart
C C G G
I’m not certain When You Lost That Certain Smile
D
But I can Say
Em G
It’s the Price you have to Pay for After Awhile
Instrumental D / C/ G / G / Em / C / D-C / D
D C G G
How I love you How I long to See that Smile That Certain Smile
D C G G
But You’ve Forgotten Life is a Treasure And Not a trial
C C G G
Take these precious flowers Take these happy Hours And Hold them
C C
I’ve forsaken never I’ll be forever
D Dstop
And after awhile won’t hold the key and steal you away from Me
C C G G
I’m not certain When You Lost That Certain Smile
D
But now I can see
Em G G
It’s the only way to be free from after awhile
