After All chords

[INTRO]
[C#m] [B] [E]

[VERSE 1]
[E]What would[G#m] a mother [B]not do for her child
What [E]lengths [A]would a mother not [G#m]go
There’s a bond that [D#m]exists between [B]mother and [E]child
With no end[D#m] to how it can [G#m]grow
It’s a promise for [A]life between [E]mother and child
It begins from the moment o[B]f birth
And you're [G#m]shaken you to your soul
With an[A#] ache you’ve never known
And you[A#] look into their eyes
And f[C#]ind you’[D#]re looking in your own

And there’s a [G#]pain you can’t [G#m]imagine
A [F#]special kind of[E] torture you can [D#]feel
A c[G#]ut that bleeds from so[G#m]mewhere deep inside you
A [B]past [E]regret you can not heal
[D#]And no one guesses [C#]all the while you’re [B]praying
The little screaming [A#]stranger in your arms

[A#]Might just grow [G#m]up and save you [E]after all
[C#m]Might just grow [D#m]up and save you [G#]after all

With no end[D#m] to how it can [G#m]grow
It begins from the moment o[B]f birth
With an[A#] ache you’ve never known
And you[A#] look into their eyes
And f[C#]ind you’[D#]re looking in your own

[VERSE 2]
[E]What would[G#m] a mother [B]not do for her child
What [E]heights [A]would a mother not [G#m]climb
There’s a bond that [D#m]exists between [B]mother and [E]child
And child and it [D#m]only goes deeper with [G#m]time
It’s a [A]promise for life between [E]mother and child
And to break it there’s [B]no greater pain
And you're [G#m]shaken you to your [A#]soul
[A#]With an ache that can’t erase
Like the [D#]tears you never cried but still keep scrubbing off your face
Cause there’s a pain you [G#]can’t imag[D#]ine
A little[F#] talk that [E]keeps you wide [D#]awake
That somehow turns to [G#]bold determination
That you’ll never make the [E]same [D#]mistake
And so you vow to feed [C#m]your little [B]future
Assuring that her talent, [A#]poise, and charm
Might just [C#]grow up [B]and save [E]you after [A]all
[C#]Might just grow up [F#]and save you after [G#]all

[G#]Some dreams die [D#]upon the vine
[A#]Some they never have a [D#]chance
[A#]Sweeter than the sweetest [D#]wine
That mine becomes [C#]Queen of [B]France

And [B]there's relief you[Am] can’t imagine
That fills up every [F]sinew, bone, and[E] nerve
To know that you can [A]get out of this hellhole
And finally live the [F]life that you des[E]erve
And suddenly the past you [Dm]knew would [A]haunt you
And all of the [B]regret you didn’t show
Might just grow [Am]up and [F]save you [G]after [A#]all
Might just grow [Em]up and [F]save you
Might just grow [Em]up you [F]save you[A#] aff [E]ter [Am]all

[VERSE 3]
[D]What would a mother [Em]not [F]do for her child
What [A#]lengths would a mother not [F]go
There’s a bond that [Dm]exists [C]between [F]mother and child
Ah. but then [E]again
How would you [A]know?
