Fm                               Db
She used to think that she was ahead of her time
        Eb
Kept it bottled inside with her pain by her bedside
Fm                        Db                           Eb
Waiting for a chance to romance with somebody in her league
Ab Eb Fm                                  Db
    Every fella that ever tried to tell she Cinderella
     Eb
They find out she's walking on glass
          C7
And she's like
Fm7                         Bb7
"Please! I don't mean no harm boy
              Eb               Ab
I'm just dealing with a broken past"
                 Fm7                  Bb7
And right now a pauper is a feasible offer
           Eb                      Ab
So, I'll have some of that open flask    oooh,

[Chorus 1]
Db                  Ab        C    Db7
Maybe it won't be easy after all
                         Ab                 C Db
Maybe I'll just have to fake a smile after all
                      Ab          C Db
It may be a lonely evening after all     Singing after all
Ab
Hey!
        C Db
After all    Singing after all
Ab
Hey!
       C Db Eb Fm

He used to think he was headed to the top
           Eb                    Ab           Eb
And it was only just a matter of time till he makes it
       Fm                     Db                    Eb      Ab
To the big stage, drum bass, orchestra lead, and a baby grand
Eb                  Fm              Db            Eb
He wanted nothing more than go on tour like his mother did in 94'
 C       Fm7                        Bb7
So, he's teaching himself on how to play on the piano
          Eb                Ab
That they had since he was born
                     Fm7                            Bb7
And all the while he sees all the problems that can come with blowing up
             Eb                       Ab
And wonders what he's still fighting for    oooh,

[Chorus 2]
Db                  Ab        C    Db
Maybe it won't be easy after all
                         Ab                  C Db
Maybe I'll just have to wait a while after all
                      Ab            C Db
Maybe I won't keep dreaming after all        Singing after all
Ab
Hey!
        C Db
After all   Singing after all
Ab
Hey!
            C
After all
