[Intro]

Em     G     C
With progress comes problems

Em     G   C
With wisdom comes age

Em      G   C
With lessons come learning

Em     G   C
And pleasure comes with pain

E     G   C
You can only have the sunshine

(Strum the next three chords only 1 time. hold guitar silence for the next line.)

Em C/G C

after the rain

Em Em Em Em 2x


[Verse]

Em     C/G
I took a walk
  C
It got me thinking

Em    C/G
Left foot, right foot

C    Am
Smiling, blinking

Em     C/G
Breathe out, breathe in

C
Somehow linking

Em    C/G          C    Am
My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth

Em    C/G          C    Am
Lost and the found and the north to the south

G           D
And the corners to the circle in my mind


[Chorus]

G        D           Am
We may find that the gate has been locked

G   D                Am
When we come back down to what we really are

G     D         Am
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost

G    D        G       Am
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark


[Verse]

Em   C/G
My hands they are empty

C        Am
But they are clean

Em   C/G
I'm poor but I'm healthy

C        Am
I'm halfway between

C            G  C
The gutter and the skyline

Am       G    D
So I took a walk to the land's end

Am       G          D
Thinking about an ex-girlfriend that I had

D              Am
And the pages that I've turned

G
And it seems to me

D
That we all love the chase

Am          G
But once we're caught we feel encased

D
Behind bars of love and trust

Am           G
Uprooted by drunken lust

G     D
By people, people just like us

Am   G        D
People, people just like us

And now...


[Chorus]

G      D    Am
You may find that the gate has been locked

G    D                 Am
When we come back down to what we really are

G      D         Am
Retrace the footprints off the path that's been lost

G    D        G       Am
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark


[Verse]

Em     C/G     C
So I took a walk to the station

Am
Lost in my imagination

    Em     C/G      C
Having private conversations with myself

  Em    C/G
And I'm just stumbling around

  C
And I wait for the sound

G               D
Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down

C       G
People say I'm just bummin' around

  D              Am
But I've had both my ears to the ground


[Outro]

Am C C/G Em
Am C C/G Em

End by strumming the Em 1 time down.

I like to hammer my chords on for that extra sound. It's totally up to you.
