Chords

[Intro]
    C#m7
You can't stay there, You can't stay there

     C#m7
You can't stay there, You can't stay there
[Verse 1]
          C#m
There were rooms of forgiveness

            C#m
In the house that we share

                C#m
But the space has been emptied

                  C#m
Of whatever was there

                 C#m
There were cupboards of patience

                 C#m
There were shelf loads of care

               C#m
But whoever came calling

            C#m
Found nobody there
[Chorus]
            E/G#                             C#m7
After today,   after today, consider me gone
[Verse 2]
                       C#m
Roses have thorns, and shining waters mud

                        C#m
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud

                  C#m
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun

                 C#m
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done
[Chorus]
            E/G#                             C#m7
After today,   after today, consider me gone
[Verse 3]
                     C#m
I've spent too many years at war with myself

                      C#m
The doctor has told me it's no good for my health

                        C#m
To search for perfection is all very well

                      C#m
But to look for heaven is to live here in hell
[Instrumental] G# [Chorus]
            E/G#                                       C#m7
After today,   after today, after today, consider me gone
