August and Everything After by Counting Crows chords
Start Jamming...
[F] I'm waking up Maria, cause [Bb] everybody else has got some place to [F] go
She makes a little motion with her [Bb] head, rolls over and says she's gonna [F] sleep for a couple minutes more
I said I'm [Bb] sorry to Maria for all the cold hearted things that I have [F] done
I said I'm [Bb] sorry by now, at least once, just about [F] everyone
She says I've [C] forgotten what I'm supposed to do [Bb] today
And [Fm] it slips my [C] mind what I'm supposed to say
[Bb] I'm getting [Dm] older and older and older and always a little [Am] [C] further out of the way
You [F] look into her eyes and you [Bb] swore that your heart will [F] allow
In [C] August and everything [Am] after, [Bb] you get a little less than you expected [F] somehow
Well I stumbled into Washington Square [Bb] just as the sun began to [F] rise
And I walked across the lawn to the [Bb] cathedral and laid down in the shadow of [F] St.
Mary's in the sky
I'm just [Bb] one of these lame model children waiting for the [F]
king
There
[Bb] ain't no sign of Elvis in San Francisco, [C]
it's just me
I [F] can't control the way she
[Am] wants to be, [C] just like [Bb] me
And I want [C] every damn thing I can [Am] [Bb] see
[Dm] One day, your daddy's little angel
The next day, [D] you're [C]
everything he wanted you to be
[Am] He'd [F] dress you up in white saddle
He'd give [Bb] you your very own pair of [F] wings
In [C] August and everything after, [Bb] I'm after [F] everything
I said [C] la la la la [Am] la la [Bb] la la la la la la la
[F]
Now I got my reservations and I got my [Bb] seven million dollar home
[F]
And I got the number of some girl in New York [Bb] City
Who's always wide awake so I [F] never have to spend the night alone
I got this [Bb] nasty little habit of peeking down the shirts of all the little girls [F] who pass me by
And I wonder [Bb] if it all catches up to me
You [F] finally bring [Bb] it down [F] now, did you think I was gonna cry?
Well I [C]
already got my [Bb] disease
So take your fucking [C] filthy hands off of me
[Am] [Bb] I [F] hope you don't expect [Dm] me to be crucified
The best that they can do is just to [C] hang me from the nearest tree
Cause [F] it's midnight in San Francisco
And [Bb] I'm waiting here for Jesus in my [F] knees
In
[C] August and everything [Am] after, [Bb] I want somebody else to [F] plead
For me
Cause la la [C] la [Bm] [A]

[F]
la la [C] la

[Bb] [F]

I came down from North Dakota cause I had [Bb]
confidence in the military mind
[F]
Now everyone I know is just turning [Bb] showgirl and dancing with their shirt off in [F] some Las Vegas hotel line
So I'm [Bb] going to New York City cause I got a little sleazy here for [F] me
When I [Bb] find myself alone, I know I'm never going home
You make the [F] changes, the changes that you need
And I [C] no longer know how to [Bb] pray
[F] I live in a [C] dog town, it's a Dalmatian [G] [Bb] parade
I [Dm] change my spots over and over, but they never seem to [C] fade away
[N]
I am the [F] last remaining Indian looking for [Bb] the place where the buffalo [F] roam
In [C] August and everything after, [Am] [Bb] man that buffalo ain't [F] never coming home
In
[C] August and everything after, [Bb] man that buffalo [C] ain't [F] never coming home
La [C] la la [Em] [Bb]
la la la la [F]
la la la Oh
[C] [Am] [Bb]
