After the Pain

After the Pain: Chords

Intro (parlato):
DO7+
 Well, I couldn't resist the urge 
                               REm7
To tell you the end of my story
For all those who wanted to know
Was there life after the pain?

DO7+/9                      REm7
After the pain, you come and love me
     DO7+/9                      REm7
And I welcome you, you're a glad sight to see
    DO7+/9                       REm7
And after the rain and all that I have been through
  DO7+/9
I still can't explain 
                         REm7
how I can still love you like I do?

But I do, yes, I do
               DO7+/9
Still love you like I do (After the pain)
                       REm7
Though you still do me like you do (After the pain)

DO7+/9                    REm7
After the pain, we sit and we talk awhile
      DO7+/9
And I fight with all my might
                                REm7
To hold back the tears from falling 

with a pleasant smile
    DO7+/9                       
And after the rain, I can't believe you
        REm7
Got the nerve to still call me, baby
      DO7+/9                 
And I try to tell you, “No, it ain't so”
                 DO#dim REm7
But I guess “No” just   ain't in me
                             DO7+/9
‘Cause boy, I still love you like I do 

(After the pain)
                       REm7
Though you still do me like you do (After the pain)

DO7+/9
 Yeah, I know you're laughin'
REm7
Those of you who heard 'Pain'
      DO7+/9
Yeah, you're right, I sure did
                                REm7
I said I'd never take him back again
 
Well, it's a woman's prerogative 
   DO7+/9
to change her mind isn't it?
                     REm7
But we do it all the time
                                   DO7+/9
Don't laugh, you probably done the same thing too
                           REm7
It's just that you know me and I don't know you
                    DO7+/9
You know one thing, time has taught me that
                     REm7
Havin' a piece of man is better 

than havin' no man at all
             DO7+/9
So I'ma just take what I got and work with it
                           REm7
You understand what I mean

And don't you remember 
                     DO7+/9
thinkin' back just a few years
                                    REm7
When people used to try to help you stay together
             
They find out you're on the verge of breakin' up
DO7+/9
 They used to cook up a little food 
                   REm7
and throw a little party

And whisper things in your ear like

DO7+/9                                     
Don't blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
        REm7
And he's doing the best he can
 
I heard 'em say, 
 DO7+/9
“Don't blame Mr. Charlie, Mr. Charlie is just a man
       REm7
And he's doing the best he can”
                            DO7+/9  
That's why I still love you like I do 

(After the pain)
                       REm7
Though you still do me like you do

(After the pain, the pain)
            DO7+/9
I know that you know it's true
               
After all I've been through
            REm7
I should be through with love
                 
But there's a God up above
                    DO7+/9
That keeps sayin', “Betty try

Don't give up, you know why
           REm7
The sun is gonna shine
                    
'Cause you are mine, all mine”
              DO7+/9
You just keep doin' your best
                   
And I will do the rest
           REm7
'Cause I love you, love you, Betty, like I do
                            DO7+/9
That's why I still love you like I do

(After the pain, the pain)

    REm7         
For all the times that you treated me wrong 
        
and I kept bein' true
        DO7+/9
You see, God's eyes they're not closed

He's not asleep
REm7
 Said He's watchin' everything move you make

Every secret you keep
DO7+/9                        REm7

                       REm7
My Father in heaven is watching you
                     DO7+/9
But I still love you like I do (After the pain)

After the Pain è un brano scritto e inciso da Bessie Regina Norris, meglio conosciuta come Betty Wright, contenuto nell'album Mother Wit pubblicato nel 1987. Dodicesimo lavoro in studio per la cantante di Miami, segna il ritorno al successo dopo anni di scarse gratificazioni professionali. La canzone è la vera responsabile di questa rinascita artistica: un pezzo tra il Soul e l'R&B che si fonde perfettamente con il sound degli anni Ottanta.
