_ _ _ Well, I couldn't resist the urge to tell you the end of my story.
[Dm] For all of [Am] those who wanted to know, was there [Dm] life after the pain?
_ [C] After the pain, you come [Dm] and [F] love me.
[Dm] _ _
And [C] I welcome you. _ _
You're a [Dm] glad sight to see. _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ And all that [Dm] I have been through, [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] still can't explain.
I can still love [F] you like I do, [Dm] but I do, yes I do.
Still love [C] you like I love pain.
Though you still do [Am] me like you love me.
_ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] After the pain, _ we sit [F] and we talk a while. _ _
[Dm] And [C] I fight with all my might to hold back the tears from [Dm] falling [F] with a pleasant smile.
[Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] After the rain, I can't believe you [Dm] got the nerve to still call me baby. _

_ [Dm] Cause boy, I still [C] love you like I do, baby.
Though you still do [Dm] me like you [C] love me.
_ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ Yeah, I know you're laughing, [Dm] those of you who heard pain.
[C] Yeah, you're right, I sure did.
I said I'd never take him [Dm] back again.
Well, it's a woman's [C] prerogative to change her mind, isn't it?
But we do it [Dm] all the time.
Don't laugh, you've [C] probably done the same thing too.
It's just that you [Dm] know me and I don't know you.
[F] You know, [C] one thing God has taught me that having a piece [Dm] of man is better than having no man at all.
So I'm going [C] to just take what I got and work with it.
You understand what I mean?
[Dm] And don't you remember thinking [C] back just a few years when people used to try [Dm] to help you stay together.
They find out you're on the verge of breaking [C] up.
They used to cook up a little food and throw a [Dm] little party and whip a thing.
Then 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 say, [C] don't blame Mr.
Charlie.
Mr.
Charlie is just a man and [Dm] [F] he's doing the best he can.
That's why I still [C] love you like I love me.
_ No, you still do [F] me like I love me.
[Dm] _ _
I know [C] that you know it's true.
After all, I should [F] be through with love.
But [Dm] there's a God up above that keeps [C] saying, better try.
Don't give up, you know the [F] sun is gonna shine.
