_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, I couldn't resist the urge to tell you the end of my story.
[Dm] For all of those who wanted to know, was there life after the pain?
_ [C] After the pain, you [Dm] come [F] love me.
_ _ _ [C] And I welcome you.
_ _ You're [F] a glad sight to see. _
_ _ _ _ [C] After the rain _ _ and all [Dm] that I have been through,
_ _ _ [C] I still can't explain how I can still [F] love you like I do.
But I do, yes I do, still [C] love you like I love me.
_ Though you [Am] still do it after the [Dm] rain.
_ _ _ [C] After the pain, _ we sit [F] and we talk a while.
_ [Dm] _ [C] And I fight with all my might to hold back the tears from [Dm] falling with a pleasant smile.
_ _ _ [C] After the rain, _ I can't believe [Dm] you got the [F] nerve to still call me [Dm] baby.
_ _ [C] And I try to tell you no, it ain't so, but I guess no [F] just ain't in me. _
[Dm] Cause boy, I still [C] love you like I do. _
_ Boy, you still [F] do me like you love me.
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ Yeah, I know you're laughing, [Dm] those of you who heard pain.
Yeah, you're right, I sure did.
I said I'd never [F] take him back again.
Well, it's a [C] woman's prerogative to change her mind, isn't it?
But we do [Dm] it all the time.
Don't laugh, [C] you've probably done the same thing too.
It's just that [Dm] you know me and I don't know you.
[C] You know, one thing time has taught me that having a [Dm] piece of man is better than having no man at all.
So [C] I'm going to just take what I got and work with it.
You understand [Dm] what I mean?
Now, don't you remember [C] thinking back just a few years when people used to [Dm] try to help you stay together?
They find out you're on the verge of [C] breaking up.
They used to cook up a little food and [Dm] throw a little party and whip a thing and you get like,
[C] Don't blame Mr.
Charlie.
Mr.
Charlie is just a man and [Dm] he's doing the best he can.
I heard him [C] say, Don't blame Mr.
Charlie.
Mr.
Charlie is just a man and [F] he's doing the best he can.
That's why I still [C] love you like a romani.
_ Boy, you still [Dm] move me like a romani.
_ _ I [C] know that you know it's true.
After all I've been through, I [Dm] should be [F] through with love.
But [Dm] there's a God above that [C] keeps saying, Daddy, try.
Don't give up.
You know that the [F] sun is going to shine.
Cause [Dm] you are mine.
You [C] just keep showing up. _
_ _ Cause [F] I love you, baby, like I [Dm] do.
That's why I still [C] love you like a romani.
_ Boy, you still [Dm] move me [F] like a romani. _
_ _ [Dm] My [C] love is deeper than any ocean.
And my [Dm] love is [F] higher _ _ _ than any mountain.
[C] It's full of emotion.
_ My [Dm] love is [F] full [Dm] of devotion.
_ My [C] love is in and out of season.
And I love [A] you with or without a reason.
You [C] see, God is gonna bless me for loving you.
[Dm] For [F] all the times that you treated me [Dm] wrong and I kept being true.
[C] You see, God's eyes, they're not closed.
He's not asleep.
[F] Said he's watching every move you make, every secret you [C] keep.
Boy, you better be careful.
_ [F] Ooh, ooh, ooh.
_ Said [C] if you treat me bad, don't make me sad.
My Father in heaven [F] is watching you. _
[Dm] But I still [C] love you like a romani.
And no, no, no, no, no, no, [Dm] nobody's ever gonna [F] love you like I do.
Say, no one's ever [C] gonna love you like, like I do.
No one's ever [Dm] gonna love you like, [F] like I do.
[Dm] No one's ever gonna [C] love you like _ _ _ _ I [Dm] do.
I don't know why I do, but I do, yes I [C] do.
Oh, there's a woman in me that keeps [A] on loving you.
[Dm] I don't know why.
Oh, _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [F] _ _ _
[Dm] I don't know, I don't know why [C] _
I love you.
Oh, _ yes I do.
Baby, don't you know it's true?
Yes, I do.
Baby, don't scream.
_ Still love you. _ _
