The Afters – The Way You Are (Guitar)

Bb (picking)
Until you came

Bb
I was just the same 

              Eb (full)     
As everybody else

        F#       Ab        Bb (picking)
Whoever saw the light and turned away

Bb (picking)
You love me now

Bb
You loved me then

                   Eb (full)
And every now and again

                         F#         Ab       Bb (picking)   
You show me how it would be if I’d gone the other way

Eb      F#       Ab        Eb              F#       Ab  Eb        
After all this time I’ve come to find my soul’s fragility

             F#  Ab      Eb              F#     Ab
But you’ve rectified my frailty by your strength

               F#                      C#
It’s like the sun swallowed up by the earth

       F#              C#
Like atomic bombs in reverse

         Bb                     Eb
As if a glass could contain the sea

           F#       Ab     Eb
That’s the way you are in me

           F#       Ab     Bb (picking) 
That’s the way you are

Bb (picking)
Now here I stand

Bb
Looking back 

                          Eb (full)
To the way things used to be

            F#   Ab    Bb (picking)
But I will never be alone again

Bb (picking)
‘Cause you’re with me

Bb
And now I see

                 Eb (full)
What it means to me

         F#      Ab     Bb (picking)
To be a part of such a mystery
