Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 After  all the windows on the ground  floor had been broken
 After  all the undemandin' officers  had spoken
 After  all the trouble after all  the commotion
 I walked  right through  the door  was always open
 I climbed the western wall without anybody knowin'
 I held the guardsman captive with a pistol I had stolen
 He just poured a cup of coffee and said, "Son now here's a notion.
 The next time you drop by the door is always open."
 I waited  for the sun but it was already  dawn
 It was already  dawn  breakin' fast  all along
 And I waited  for her song but she was already  gone
 She was already  gone  breakin' fast  all along
 So it seems I've spent a lifetime arrested and beholden
 Standin' on the threshold absolutely frozen
 Waitin' on some God above to tell me I was chosen
 Instead I spoke myself the door was always open
 Instead I spoke myself the door was always open
 Enjoy!

Af[D]ter all the windows on the g[G]round floor had been br[D]oken

Af[Bm]ter all the undemandin' off[G]icers had sp[A]oken

Af[D]ter all the trouble after a[G]ll the commoti[D]on

I w[Bm]alked right thr[G]ough the door[A] was always [D]op[Bm]en [G]    [A]       [A7]

I climbed the western wall without anybody knowin'
I held the guardsman captive with a pistol I had stolen
He just poured a cup of coffee and said, "Son now here's a notion.
The next time you drop by the door is always open."

I w[Bm]aited for the sun but it was [G]already d[D]awn

It was [G]already d[D]awn breakin' f[A7]ast all along

And I w[Bm]aited for her song but she was [G]already g[D]one

She was [G]already g[D]one breakin' f[A]ast all along

So it seems I've spent a lifetime arrested and beholden
Standin' on the threshold absolutely frozen
Waitin' on some God above to tell me I was chosen
Instead I spoke myself the door was always open

Instead I spoke myself the door was always open

Enjoy!
