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 


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)
