Jack Conte - The Way It Was Before

      
 
 Am                        Am                  
 Hear it when I crunch the leaves on the ground
 Am                     Dm             
 Imagine it's me, once green soon brown
 Am                         E               Am   
 And the wind will howl but I won't make no sound
 
 Am              Am               
 After we pass through this circus
 Am              Dm             
 After they have swept the floor
 Am                       E             Am 
 It'll all go back to the way it was before
 
 Am                                          
 I keep myself distracted with the mirror pen
 Am                             Dm            
 I store the words on paper instead of my head
             Am                
 It's like a cold glass of milk
             E                    Am         
 When me and my stomach ache are stuck in bed
 
 Am                                     
 What if all the crazies are really sane
 Am                           Dm             
 They see something that the rest of us can't
 Am                          
 And I'll never feel the pain
 E                  Am 
 Of having to fade away

 Dm                   Am 
 I'm fine being by myself
 Am                     E   
 Not wasting wishes on women
 E                            Am      
 When I'm throwing pennies in the well
 
 Dm                   Am 
 I'm fine being by myself
                    E           
 I still got my tongue, don't I?
 E              Am  
 And a story to tell
 
 Am              Am               
 After we pass through this circus
 Am              Dm             
 After they have swept the floor
 Am                       E             Am

 It'll all go back to the way it was before
