Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

there's some old flowers on the kitchen table

some photos taped upon the wall

closet full of empty clothes hangars

old box of kotex in the bathroom stall

Chorus

and there's still life even after you're gone

still life even though the nights go on for way to long

because i'm breathing even though i can't go on

there's still life even after you're gone

Verse 2

there's some gaps in my CD collection

dog door, but there ain't no dog

'cause you took the dang dog when you left me

all that you left me was this cold gray fog

[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge

i know that friends some time are gonna take away the pain

and that before too long i'll be on my feet again

but all i know is nights go on and on and on

and there's still life even after you're gone

Verse 3

i get up for work every morning

to somehow make it through the day

and when they ask me how i'm doin

i bite my lip, tell 'em man, everything's okay

[Repeat Chorus]
