After All

                   Dm7             
once upon a time i had control, and
  F          G       C   G
 reigned my soul in tight.

         C (add G)                  
           Fmaj7
well the whole truth, it's like the 
story of a wave unfurled,
                    Dm7
but i held the evil of the world,
   F                            G
so i stopped the tide, froze it up 
from inside,

          C (add G)                 
              Fmaj7
   and it felt like a winter machine
 that you go through and then,
   you catch your breath and winter 
 Dm7
starts again,
        F        G           
   and everyone else is spring 
   C   G
bound.

         C (add G)                  
                     Fmaj7
and when i chose to live, there was 
no joy, it's just a line i crossed
                            Dm7
it wasn't worth the pain my death 
would have cost
   F          G        C   G
so i was not lost or found.

       C (add G)                    
             Fmaj7
and if i was to sleep, i knew my 
family had more truth to tell.
                         Dm7
and so i traveled down a whispering 
well,
   F        G          C  G
to know myself through them.

growing up, my mom had a room full 
of books, and hid away in there,
                          Dm7
her father raging down a spiral 
stair,
     F                       G
till he found someone, most days his
 son,

        C (add G)                   
           Fmaj7
   and sometimes i think my father, 
too, was a refugee,
   i know they tried to keep their 
Dm7
pain from me,
        F         G             
   they could not see what it was 
   C  G
for.

        C (add G)
but now i'm sleeping fine,
sometimes the truth is like a second
Fmaj7
 chance,
                       Dm7
i am the daughter of a great 
romance,
    F             G              
and they are the children of the 
C   G
war.

             Fmaj7
well the sun rose with so many 
colors, it nearly broke my heart,
                         Dm7
it worked me over like a work of 
art,
    F        G           C   G
and i was a part of all that.

      C (add G)                     
                   Fmaj7
so go ahead push your luck, say what
 it is you gotta say to me,
                          Dm7
we will push on into that mystery,
          F                        
and it'll push right back, and 
      G                 C   G
there are worse things than that,

             C (add G)              
                Fmaj7
   cause for every price, and every 
penance that i could think of,
                       Dm7
   it's better to have fallen in 
love,
        F             G          
   than never to have fallen at 
C  G
all,

               C (add G)            
                       Fmaj7
cause when you live in a world, well
 it gets into who you thought you'd 
be,
                           Dm7
and now i laugh at how the world 
changed me,
F            G               C (add 
G)     Em    Am    G    C( add G) G 
C(add G)
i think life chose me after all.
