Chord/Tab song: The Lover After Me

Hints:
Asterisks () indicate a solo is there--check the bottom for the corresponding
solo tab.
If I've tabbed out a solo, sometimes next to it will be the note translations
so that people with other instuments can play it also.

intro: G Bm C2 Cmaj7/D C6 (x3)

[G]here i go again i promised [Bm]myself i wouldn't t[C2]hink of you today[Cmaj7/D][C6]
it's been seven [G]months and counting [Bm]you've moved on
i still [C2]feel exactly the same[Cmaj7/D][C6]
it's just that [G]everywhere i go all the [Bm]buildings know your name
like[C2] photographs and memories of love[Cmaj7/D] [C6] [G]steel and granite reminders[Bm]
the city calls your [C2]name and i can't move on[C][D]

Chorus:
[C2] ever since you've been gone [D] the lights go out the same
[C] the only difference is [D] you call another name
[C] to your love to your [D]lover now
C2
to your love the lover after me

[G] [Bm] [C2] [Cmaj7/D] [C6]
[G]am i all alone in the [Bm]universe there's no [C2]love on these streets[Cmaj7/D][C6]
i have [G]given mine away to a [Bm]world that didn't [C2]want it anyway[Cmaj7/D][C6]
so t[G]his is my new freedom[Bm]
it's funny [C2]i don't remember being chained[Cmaj7/D][C6]
but n[G]othing seems to make sense any[Bm]more
without you [C]i'm always twenty minutes [C]late[D]

(chorus)

C D C D C
and time goes by so slowly the nights are cold and lonely
i shouldn't be [D]holding on but i'm still [C]holding on for you
