[Verse 1]
Cm
I've been caught in a crime
                         Fm
I don't know and I don't mind it

I'm flying blind
Cm
People try to feel me out, get inside
      Fm
I'm a lost cause, I'm a porcupine
Cm
You and all the others doing fine
       Fm
Do you still decide to stay indoors?
        Cm
Are you cold and chrome and cauterized?
          Fm
I've a collection called the battered boy


[Chorus 1]
          Db           Ab
Well it's after the end
    Bbm        Fm
And I'm still around
  Db               Ab
I can't believe my eyes
      Bbm           Fm
And I can't turn them down
     Db           Ab    Bbm        Fm
It's after the end   and I'm here alone
     Db                   Ab
It's bad enough that it's everyday
Bbm  Fm
I am reborn


[Verse 2]
Cm                             Fm
Any sign of life shines like a lighthouse

I can see the shore
       Cm
In the aftermath of enterprise
          Fm
You'll be careful what you're wishing for
     Cm
I've learned to do your lines
                  Fm
I don't need your conversation anymore


[Chorus 2]
           Db           Ab
Cause it's after the end
    Bbm        Fm
And I'm still around
  Db               Ab
I can't believe my eyes
      Bbm           Fm
And I can't turn them down
     Db           Ab     Bbm       Fm
It's after the end   and I'm here alone
     Db                   Ab
It's bad enough that it's everyday
Bbm  Fm
I am reborn


[Verse 3]
 Cm
Another life to think about

Is problematic anyhow
Fm
   I will build my home
     Cm
This tragic scene will never last
                          Fm
I'm a machine, I'm moving fast

Piling up the bones


[Bridge]
    Eb                     Bbm
But she goes slow, she can move like a wave
Eb                        Bbm
Been through hell beating out our mistakes
Eb                      Bbm
Meet me at Al's and she says it's a date
     Eb
It's two o'clock
              Bbm
She must have just missed the train


[Solo]
Db  Ab  Bbm  Fm  repeat 4x


[Chorus 1]
          Db           Ab
Well it's after the end
    Bbm        Fm
And I'm still around
  Db               Ab
I can't believe my eyes
      Bbm           Fm
And I can't turn them down
     Db           Ab    Bbm        Fm
It's after the end   and I'm here alone
     Db                   Ab
It's bad enough that it's everyday
Bbm  Fm
I am reborn


[Outro]
Db  Ab  Bbm  Fm  repeat 4x and fade out
