After The War (Catradora)

Verse 1:
           F   G
This is a letter
       C          Am
to the girl I was before
                F    G
things will get better
          C                   Am
you’ll be safe in a place you matter
              F           G
I know how it feels right now
                   C       Am
but you’ll make it through somehow
              F        G
I know you’re misunderstood
                        C         Am
but do what’s right and do what’s good
 
Pre-Chorus:
  F       G            C
I used to dream of you next to me
F   G                 C
but now you’re really here
      F              G               C         Am     F  G  C
and I wonder if this feeling is the feeling of coming home.
 
Chorus:
                 F
The next thing I know
               G
it’s after the war
    C              Am
and you’re next to me
           F
hand in my hand
               G
together we’ll stand
          C
under the stars.
         F
oh how I wish
        G
I never doubted you
          C         Am
but we’ll fix this together
           F
hand in my hand
               G
together we’ll stand
          C
under the stars.

though I tried not to
          F        G
I was too blind to see
                C
hurting you was hurting me
                       F        G
you’re worth more than what you give
                       C           Am
you’re worth more than what you’ve done
             F
you’re worth everything to me

you’re priceless, you see
    C             G
and after all is done

we’ve only begun

we’ve only begun.
