Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Ba da ba bum

F#D#m
I can hear planes flyin' over my head
BC#
Just hours before you occupied my bed
D#mG#m
In our darkness we conjured up sunlight
D#mG#mC#
In our haste, our need, our thirst we lost our sight
D#mB
But I was inspired tracing the lines on your face
D#mC#
To the poetry the first time I heard your name
D#mC#G#m
When I trip from your lips my heart was like a kick-drum
D#mC#D#m
And it silenced the guilt, I wasn't raised to hurt anyone
-
D#m
Uh oh, does he know
C#
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
BC#
Make him think he's crazy
D#m
While his paranoia grows
D#mC#
What he should be asking
B
Is where did our love go
C#
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
D#m
In another man's afterglow
D#m
Where did the beat go?
C#
Where is the beat?
D#m
Where did the beat go?
-
F#D#m
So how do I justify to the judge and the jury
BC#
The voices in my head that caused this fury
D#mG#m
Never had to play with matches to start a fire
D#mG#mC#
But it got so cold and I thought I'd forgotten desire
D#mB
I was your concubine and then your Madonna
D#mC#
You couldn't see anything beyond your baby's mama
D#mC#G#m
How long is lonely supposed to last?
D#mC#D#m
I was naked and waiting for you to come back
-
D#m
Uh oh, does he know
C#
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
BC#
Make him think he's crazy
D#m
While his paranoia grows
D#mC#
What he should be asking
B
Is where did our love go
C#
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
D#m
In another man's afterglow
D#m
Where did the beat go?
C#
Where is the beat?
D#m
Where did the beat go?
In another man's afterglow...
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
-
D#mC#
There's a cause and effect although I took the steps
G#mB
I dove off the Bridge cause I had nothing left
D#mC#
All I ever wanted was you
D#mC#
And in the absence of you
BC#D#m
I fell through
-
D#m
Uh oh, does he know
C#
That I'm lyin' in the afterglow
B
That I'm lyin' but I can't go, can't say no
BC#
Make him think he's crazy
D#m
While his paranoia grows
D#mC#
What he should be asking
B
Is where did our love go
C#
Then I wouldn't be baskin'
D#m
In another man's afterglow
C#
Where did the beat go?
D#m
Where is the beat?
C#
Where did the beat go?
D#m
Where did the love go?
