Roses 101 - After All

Fm                               
She used to think that she was ahead
Db
 of her time
        Eb
Kept it bottled inside with her pain
 by her bedside
Fm                        Db     
Waiting for a chance to romance 
                      Eb
with somebody in her league
Ab Eb Fm                        
    Every fella that ever tried 
          Db
to tell she Cinderella
     Eb
They find out she's walking on glass
          C7
And she's like
Fm7                         Bb7
"Please! I don't mean no harm boy
              Eb               Ab
I'm just dealing with a broken past"
                 Fm7               
And right now a pauper is a 
   Bb7
feasible offer
           Eb                  
So, I'll have some of that open 
    Ab
flask    oooh,

[Chorus 1]
Db                  Ab        C  
Maybe it won't be easy after all
  Db7

                         Ab        
Maybe I'll just have to fake a 
         C Db
smile after all
                      Ab          
It may be a lonely evening after 
C Db
all     Singing after all
Ab
Hey!

[Verse 2]
Fm                        Db
He used to think he was headed to 
the top
           Eb                    
And it was only just a matter of 
Ab           Eb
time till he makes it
       Fm                   
To the big stage, drum bass, 
  Db                    Eb      Ab
orchestra lead, and a baby grand
Eb                  Fm           
He wanted nothing more than go on
   Db            Eb
 tour like his mother did in 94'
 C       Fm7                      
So, he's teaching himself on how 
  Bb7
to play on the piano
          Eb                Ab
That they had since he was born
                     Fm7         
And all the while he sees all the 
                   Bb7
problems that can come with blowing 
up
             Eb                    
And wonders what he's still 
   Ab
fighting for    oooh,

[Chorus 2]
Db                  Ab        C  
Maybe it won't be easy after all
  Db

                         Ab        
Maybe I'll just have to wait a 
          C Db
while after all
                      Ab         
Maybe I won't keep dreaming after 
   C Db
all        Singing after all
Ab
Hey!
        C Db
After all   Singing after all
Ab
Hey!
            C
After all
