Key: A

Intro:
A - E - Bm - D - D - A - A

D A
If I had my way, I would never go back
A C#m
With my back to the wall, I'd just let myself fall
D E
Watch the days turn to black
F#m E Bm D A
But now and again I find, you cross my mind

D A
If I was a train, I would never slow down
A C#m
With my head in the sky and the world going by
D E
Every nowhere town
F#m E
As I write one more letter to you
Bm D
Lord I can't change the things that I do


Chorus:

A E
One day, when you discover
E/F F#m D
Just why I ran, ran away from you lover
A E
I know I'm to blame, I feel so ashamed
Bm D A
Call out your name, after the rain


Bridge:

(A C# E) F#m - E - Bm - D - D - A - A

C#m F#m
What do you want me to do
C#m F#m
I've thrown away everything for you
B7
I've wasted my dreams and each day it seems
D E
I'm losing my way back to you

D A
It's time for a change, what else can I do
A C#m
With the clock ticking time better make up my mind
D E
Is it me or is it you
F#m E
And tonight as I'm losing control
Bm D
I will drink to the queen of my soul


(Chorus)

D
After the rain
A
After the rain

... (Repeat to Fade)
