Lyrics

The miles from (Bbsus2)town and I just broke (F)down, spit tin’ out (C)smoke on the side of the (Dm)road.

I’m out here a (Bb)lone just try’n’ to get (F)home to tell you I’s (C)wrong, but you al read y (G7sus)know.

Be lieve me, I (Bb)won’t stop at noth in’

to see you.

So (Bbsus2)I’ve start ed (C)run nin’.

(Bbsus2)All that I’m (F)af ter is a (C)life full of (Dm)laugh ter as (Bbsus2)long as I’m (F)laugh in’ with (C)you.

And I’m think in’ that (Bbsus2)all that still (F)mat ters is (C)love ev er (Dm)af ter, (C)af ter the life we’ve been (Dm)through.

’Cause I (Bb)know there’s no (C)life af ter (Dm)you.

The time we (Bbsus2)talked, the night that I (F)walked, burns like an (C)iron in the back of my (Dm)mind.

I must ’ve been (Bb)high to say you and (F)I weren’t meant to be (C)and just wast in’ my time.

(G7sus)know.

Be Oh, why did (Bb)I ev er doubt you?

You know I would (Bbsus2)die here with (C)out you.

(Bbsus2)All that I’m (F)af ter is a (C)life full of (Dm)laugh ter as (Bbsus2)long as I’m (F)laugh in’ with (C)you.

And I’m think in’ that (Bbsus2)all that still (F)mat ters is (C)love ev er (Dm)af ter, (C)af ter the life we’ve been (Dm)through.

Yeah, I (Bb)know there’s no (C)life af ter (Dm)you.

(Dm)You and I, right or wrong, there’s no oth er one.

(F)Af ter this time spent a (C)lone, it’s hard to be lieve that a (Dm)man with sight could be so blind.

Think in’ ’bout the bet ter times, (F)must ’ve been out of my (C)mind.

So I’m run in’ back to tell you: (Bbsus2)All that I’m (F)af ter is a (C)life full of (Dm)laugh ter.

With (Bb)out you, God (F)knows what I’d (C)do,

yeah.

(Dm)you,

(Bb)know there’s no (C)life af ter (F)you
