C#m
There were rooms of forgiveness
C#m
In the house that we share
C#m
But the space has been emptied
C#m
Of whatever was there
C#m
There were cupboards of patience
C#m
There were shelf loads of care
C#m
But whoever came calling
C#m
Found nobody there
[Chorus]
G#
After today, consider me gone
[Verse 2]
C#m
Roses have thorns, and shining waters mud
C#m
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud
C#m
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun
C#m
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done
[Chorus]
G#
After today, consider me gone
[Verse 3]
C#m
I've spent too many years at war with myself
C#m
The doctor has told me it's no good for my health
C#m
To search for perfection is all very well
C#m
But to look for heaven is to live here in hell
[Chorus]
G#
After today, consider me gone
