AFTER TODAY (Tift Merritt)
--------------------------
* The rhythm in this song is very free; at the end of each line in the intro and verses
(especially the first two verses), the final chord is held for at about one extra beat.

[intro]
C Fmaj7 Am7 C
I never thought I'd see the day
C Fmaj7 Am7 C
I finally got all eyes on me
C Fmaj7 Am7 C
My daddy made my sentencing
C Fmaj7 Am7 C
Now there's a first for everything
Am G/B C C
Don't ask me what comes after today
Am G/B C C
Don't ask me what comes after today
F G C F
Sweet Emily's eyes are all that I'll be thinking of
F - F(9) Gsus4 - G C C
Don't ask me what comes after today
You must be proud, your conscience is clean
I'm just what you expect I'd be
There's plenty bad to be said for me
But I never been your judge, I never been your judge
Don't ask me what comes after today
Don't ask me what comes after today
Sweet Emily's eyes are all that I'll be thinking of
Don't ask me what comes after today
What's yours to take for free 'round here
Is a bullet and a hundred years
But a dream a dream, might not be yours
Keep your head down boy, keep your head down boys
Don't ask me what comes after today
Don't ask me what comes after today
Sweet Emily's eyes are all that I'll be thinking of
Don't ask me what comes after today
F F C C
Nobody means for the gun to go off
F F C C
Nobody wants it this way
F F C C
Nobody sees how the deal went bad
Em Em G G
But the ones living it every day
Floating on Hundred Forty-Fifth
You can see the bridge, but you can't cross the way
I've been scared before, I've been scared before
No matter what you are, you get used to the chains
No matter who you are, you get used to your chains
Don't ask me what comes after today
Don't ask me what comes after today
Sweet Emily's eyes will be all that I'll be thinking of
Don't ask me what comes after today
