THE LOVER AFTER ME

(Savage Garden)

Hints:

Asterisks (*) indicate a solo is there--check the bottom for the corresponding

solo tab.

If I've tabbed out a solo, sometimes next to it will be the note translations

{in curly brackets} so that people with other instuments can play it also.

intro: G Bm C2 Cmaj7/D C6 (x3)

G Bm C2 Cmaj7/D C6

here i go again i promised myself i wouldn't think of you today

G Bm

it's been seven months and counting you've moved on

C2 Cmaj7/D C6

i still feel exactly the same

G Bm

it's just that everywhere i go all the buildings know your name

C2 Cmaj7/D C6 G Bm

like photographs and memories of love steel and granite reminders

C2 C D

the city calls your name and i can't move on

Chorus:

C2 D

ever since you've been gone the lights go out the same

C D

the only difference is you call another name

C D

to your love to your lover now

C2 *

to your love the lover after me

G Bm C2 Cmaj7/D C6

G Bm C2 Cmaj7/D C6

am i all alone in the universe there's no love on these streets

G Bm C2 Cmaj7/D C6

i have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway

G Bm

so this is my new freedom

C2 Cmaj7/D C6

it's funny i don't remember being chained

G Bm

but nothing seems to make sense anymore

C C D

without you i'm always twenty minutes late

(chorus)

**C D C D C

and time goes by so slowly the nights are cold and lonely

D C

i shouldn't be holding on but i'm still holding on for you
