After The Fall

Am              E                
In an anonymous rendez-vous where
                        Am
 the forbidden lovers repair
        C                         
They're burning down another damn 
G
candle
        E                      
they're melting the tables and 
Fmaj7
chairs
  Am                          
Beneath them applause from the 
 E
balcony
whenever they accomplished making 
Am
love
C                                 
Other times they thought they 
  G
heard laughter
E                       F         
coming from the balcony above
 Dm



    G                        
She lies to his right and she 
 D
carelessly resites
Continúa después del anuncio
Em                       Bm
All of her brand new appetites
          G                        
She seems brittle and small it 
  D
don't sound like her at all
Em                         E
Since she came back to him After the
 fall

She said You never visited the 
countryside
So I've made you a country to order
She put up a little tent in the 
bedroom
Crickets played on a tape recorder
The ceiling was festooned with 
phosphorous stars
She noticed his skin turning cold
Burning all his clothes on the 
bonfire
Relax she whispered and tightened 
the blindfold

She lies to his right.....

You've changed but not for the 
better, babe
I'd tell you why but what's the use
'Cause it's the same kind of pity
a drunkard gives as his excuse
You were sharp and ideal as a bobby 
pin
Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
We both look like those poor 
shattered mannequins
Thrown through the window in the 
riot

She lies in his arms and without any
 qualms
Revels in shallow delights
She seems brittle and small it don't
 look like her at all
Since she came back to him After the
 fall
