After The Tornado

	  		


Intro 
A 


 
Verse 1:
A                 G 
My words carry no weight, 
A               D E 
I see them fly away, 
A                         G 
Like birds going south in winter, 
A               D      E    D  E 
And it’s always winter here. 

Verse 2:
 
A                 G 
My words carry no weight, 
  D/F#                   D            E 
I feel them drown in the great verbal lake, 
     C#m                D 
Like stones sink to the bottom, 
A     Bm C#m  D      E 
Water is all around me. 


  
E                             D      A 
Let them echo in the halls of history, 
    E                            D            A 
Who knows you’ll be heard if you live for two, 
       E                                D         A 
If you think you’re too small to make a difference, 
F#m  G#  A               D/F#        A    E 
I’ll try sleeping with a mosquito in your room. 


 
Post-Chorus
N.C.       D 
Oh, let me in, 
A       E 
Hear me out. 
A      D 
Let me in, 
A       E 
Hear me out. 


 
Verse 3:
A                 G 
My words carry no weight, 
            D/F#             D            E 
Before they touch the ground they’ll go astray, 
     A                     G 
Like feathers taken by the wind, 
D/F#     A         D  A  E 
I live inside a tornado. 



E                             D      A 
Let them echo in the halls of history, 
    E                            D            A 
Who knows you’ll be heard if you live for two, 
       E                                D         A 
If you think you’re too small to make a difference, 
F#m  G#  A               D/F#        A    E 
I’ll try sleeping with a mosquito in your room. 



Post-Chorus
N.C.       D 
Oh, let me in, 
A       E 
Hear me out. 
A      D 
Let me in, 
A       E 
Hear me out.
 


Verse 4:
   D                             A 
My words used to carry no weight, 
E 
I saw them fly away, 
A        D 
Oh, like birds that went south in winter, 
A       E 
Oh, now spring is settling in.
