Verse 2

After the fall is over

You'll be on your own

After the fall is over

Verse 3
D 
There'll be wrecks to clear
A 
in this war zone
Bm 
There'll be much to clean
G 
and time to atone
D 
A 
But while it's dark you can shelter here

you're feeling the fear

the sun will shine again

Verse 4

A life's gotta have direction

After the deals are done

Verse 5
You gotta ask the question
D 
A 
Ask yourself why you go through it all
Em 
When morality kicks in,
Bm 
who will catch you when you fall
D 
I'm a sinner waiting at
A 
the traveler's rest
Em 
Seeking refuge from the storm,
Bm 
and I'm a grateful guest
D 
A 
And a profit cries out in high platitudes
Em 
I smile and say, "Hey,
Bm 
I was just passing through"
A 
D 
And an angel cries, "Wait,
A 
we'll tell you when to move"
Em 
Even at the gates of Heaven I'll
D 
A 
G 
be waiting in a queue

Verse 6

Seems like I'm falling upwards

Into the great white blue

And all my imperfections

You can

Verse 7
D 
learn your lines
A 
and fabricate a show
Bm 
But the way we come in, yeah,
G 
that's the way we're gonna go
D 
A 
We cheat and lie to conquer our fears
Bm 
We can put on a smile just
G 
to cover up the tears
Em 
Ah, but when the mist clears,
A 
the sun will shine again
D 
A 
G 

Verse 8

After the fall (after the fall is over)

There'll be a better day

After the fall is over

Verse 9
D 
So I fell on my arse,
A 
now I'm feeling the pain
Bm 
But the feeling will pass
G 
and so will the shame
D 
A 
The bigger the ego, the bigger the fall
Bm 
When your reputation
G 
counts for nothing at all
Em 
Ah, but when the mist clears,
A 
F# 
the sun will shine again
Bm

I will greet you when the sun

There'll be a better day

After the fall is over
