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)
