[Verse 1]
Cm
I've been caught in a crime
Fm
I don't know and I don't mind it
I'm flying blind
Cm
People try to feel me out, get inside
Fm
I'm a lost cause, I'm a porcupine
Cm
You and all the others doing fine
Fm
Do you still decide to stay indoors?
Cm
Are you cold and chrome and cauterized?
Fm
I've a collection called the battered boy
[Chorus 1]
Db Ab
Well it's after the end
Bbm Fm
And I'm still around
Db Ab
I can't believe my eyes
Bbm Fm
And I can't turn them down
Db Ab Bbm Fm
It's after the end and I'm here alone
Db Ab
It's bad enough that it's everyday
Bbm Fm
I am reborn
[Verse 2]
Cm Fm
Any sign of life shines like a lighthouse
I can see the shore
Cm
In the aftermath of enterprise
Fm
You'll be careful what you're wishing for
Cm
I've learned to do your lines
Fm
I don't need your conversation anymore
[Chorus 2]
Db Ab
Cause it's after the end
Bbm Fm
And I'm still around
Db Ab
I can't believe my eyes
Bbm Fm
And I can't turn them down
Db Ab Bbm Fm
It's after the end and I'm here alone
Db Ab
It's bad enough that it's everyday
Bbm Fm
I am reborn
[Verse 3]
Cm
Another life to think about
Is problematic anyhow
Fm
I will build my home
Cm
This tragic scene will never last
Fm
I'm a machine, I'm moving fast
Piling up the bones
[Bridge]
Eb Bbm
But she goes slow, she can move like a wave
Eb Bbm
Been through hell beating out our mistakes
Eb Bbm
Meet me at Al's and she says it's a date
Eb
It's two o'clock
Bbm
She must have just missed the train
[Solo]
Db Ab Bbm Fm repeat 4x
[Chorus 1]
Db Ab
Well it's after the end
Bbm Fm
And I'm still around
Db Ab
I can't believe my eyes
Bbm Fm
And I can't turn them down
Db Ab Bbm Fm
It's after the end and I'm here alone
Db Ab
It's bad enough that it's everyday
Bbm Fm
I am reborn
[Outro]
Db Ab Bbm Fm repeat 4x and fade out
